STUDENTS from Priestley College have rallied together to raise money to help underprivileged children in Moldova.
The group of 16 students, aged from 16 to 20, have raised more than £1,200 to help buy vital necessities and aid for orphans living in the poverty-stricken country.
The production art and international baccalaureate students baked up a storm at a charity cake sale in October, raising more than £200.
But it was a night of music at Arley Hall that bumped their grand total up to £1,200.
With performances from the Bridgewater Singers and baritone Mark Edgington, the night was heralded as a success by the students.
Jordan Simpson, from Great Sankey, said: “It all went amazingly well and all our hard work has paid off.
“We raised more than £1,000 in one night so we hit our target for the evening.”
The students are now hoping to raise a further £1,700 and then plan to raise enough money to cover their expenses to travel to Moldova to help with teaching and construction in the country.
