ENTERPRISING pupils took part in a £10 challenge and raised more than £200 for a charity that provides disability football sessions.

Youngsters at Seahaven Academy in Newhaven teamed up with Albion in the Community (AITC), the official charity of Brighton and Hove Albion, for the project.

The aim was to encourage students to think creatively about how to raise money for charity.

Pupils were split into groups, given £10 and asked to use their business skills to come up with a way of growing that initial funding.

A number of schools from across Sussex took part, but it was the pupils at Seahaven who recorded the best profit.

The different groups at Seahaven decided to work together, pooling their £10 start-up budgets and organised a school disco for their fellow pupils.

Profits from the disco were then used to fund materials for a number of subsequent fundraising events, including a cake sale, a car wash and a stall where teachers had wet sponges thrown at them.

In total the pupils raised £212.79 on top of their start-up funds.

The money raised by Seahaven and the other schools that took part will now help fund AITC’s award-winning disability football sessions throughout Sussex.
