“Congratulations to the winning team of Megan Bebbington, Elena Catania, Amreet Nahal, Eliza Rodi, Ellie Rowan-Samuels and Jessica Street from 7AOY, who raised more than £46.75 with their Sweet Pong stall – an excellent return on their investment.”
Ellie said: “It was really fun working together to come up with an idea that would appeal to everyone and raise lots of money.
“I’m so pleased we won the competition, and especially that the Double Your Money challenge meant we raised lots of money for our chosen charities.”
