Pupils from an independent school raised cash for the homeless, by trying a taste of what it is like to have no home.
The children, from Teesside High School, in Eaglescliffe, which has pupils from across the North East and North Yorkshire, raised £300.
Girls from year nine built a shelter of cardboard, and then endured hours in the rain and cold in order to highlight the plight of those sleeping rough in winter.
Last week, the girls presented the cheque for £300 to Stephen Morgan, area manager of Shelter, the homeless persons' charity.
He praised the girls' efforts, saying: "They have drawn attention to the suffering of the homeless in a highly original way."
