CARING students from Wellacre Academy in Urmston have secured a £3,000 grant for the Derian House.
The children's hospice supports families before and after the death of a child.
Cameron Lamont, Jack Mastin, Lewis Roddy and Zac Randles, all from year Nine, worked hard with their classmates in their religious and ethical studies lessons to secure the funding through the Youth Philanthropy Initiative (YPI).
Leader of Respect at Wellacre Academy, Miss Hosty said she had been overwhelmed by the efforts of the students.
She added: "YPI is a superb scheme which offers our students the opportunity to practice life skills whilst making them aware of the wider social issues that our present within the community."
