Young people  at Bolton School donated thousands of selection boxes to be used in hampers.

Nearly 3,000 boxes were delivered to Urban Outreach's Christmas Dinner on Jesus campaign.

The school has been involved in the initiative for ten years.

A spokesperson for Bolton School said: "This year, Urban Outreach are delivering chicken, vegetarian and halal hampers as well as individual collections.

"The target for the school was to procure 2,500 selection boxes and at last count 2,848 had been collected by the eight schools within the foundation with donations still coming in."

Sixth Form students made up six teams who encouraged pupils around the campus in the campaign and helped with the counting and collecting of items.

Students also undertook several fundraising events including a bake sale and a raffle at the community Tea at the Riley event, with the money collected used to buy more boxes.
