CHILDREN and staff at Landscore Primary School in Crediton dressed up to raise funds for Red Nose Day on Friday, March 24 and raised £302.18.

The children produced a sea of red when they swapped their blue uniform for red clothing and painted their faces to represent a Red Nose.

The fun was optional and those who dressed up donated £1 to Comic Relief, which has projects in the UK and Africa.

This year the charity is specifically focusing on five issues, immunisation, mental health, vulnerable young people, domestic violence and fighting malaria.
