GARAGE boss Mark Watson has come up with extra cash to boost a school's Easter minibus appeal.
His Wolsingham Motor Company has given £400 to launch fundraising at Wolsingham School and Community College.
The money has bought dozens of chocolate eggs which will be raffled during the next few weeks.
Organiser Ken Walton has set a target of £5,000.
He said: "The school has raised £15,000 since November for our performing arts bid and the children are putting in a lot of hard work. There is a great spirit among the pupils and staff and the parents are very supportive. I am sure we will do it.
"Having a bus will make a big difference because we will be able to involve the children in more activities."
