Staff and pupils at schools in and around in Boston have, once again, shown enthusiastic support for Red Nose Day.

The annual campaign returned on Friday (March 15), raising more than £40 million for Comic Relief.

Among those taking part in the fundraiser locally were schools under the Voyage Education Partnership.

At Boston Pioneers Academy, in Fydell Crescent, pupils were invited to ‘dress in a wacky way’.

At Boston’s Staniland Academy, in Peck Avenue, a non-uniform day was also held.

At Gosberton Academy youngsters were invited to dress in red or simply in clothes of their own choice.

A spokesman for the federation said a fundraising total from the efforts was not yet known.

Since launching in 1985, Comic Relief has raised more than £1.6 billion for worthy causes.
