A number of brave children, staff and parents toughed it out on the streets of Grantham last night. They were doing it to raise money for the Grantham Deaf Children's Society, Grantham Foodbank and the school.

Temperatures never got above freezing but that didn't throw ice onto their spirits. Newton danced and jigged around the streets as the kind residents dug into their pockets to give to worthy causes. £230 raised last night with £1200 coming from sponsorship. Last year nearly £3000 was raised and then donated to local charities. It helped the school put markings on its new playground and buy a shelter.

We have already had generous donations from local businesses who have sponsored the float. We would like to thank the following for their wonderful support.
