YOUNGSTERS at a Shildon school were so eager to raise money for charity that they put their shirts on it.
Pupils at St John's C of E Primary School collected funds for the Butterwick Hospice by holding a football day.
The children and staff wore football shirts and took part in soccer events to raise money for the hospice in their tenth anniversary.
Specialist support assistant Wendy Marchant said: "Almost the whole school had football strips on from lots of different clubs - Newcastle, Sunderland, Chelsea, Liverpool, Man United and Middlesbrough.
"They think it's great, they have all been on the fields playing football. The money is still coming in but we're glad to be doing something to raise money for the hospice. It is such a great cause."
