Poor Victorians spark charity donation
LEARNING about poverty stricken children in the Victorian era prompted pupils to donate money to the charity Barnardos.
Year two pupils at Willows First School in Lancing have been studying the Victorian period and came to school for a day dressed as poor children from the era.
They also learnt about Dr Thomas Barnardo who set up schools and home for destitute children in 1867 which eventually became the children's charity Barnardos.
