YOUNG Alicia Wade (pictured) won a big prize by supporting her Mellor school - and promptly decided to share it.

Alicia, seven, won a raffle at St Mary's RC Church and St Mary's Primary School's coffee morning and walked away with a huge teddy bear.

The event was organised jointly by the church and school to raise funds to improve the school kitchen which is used for many community functions.

Alicia has decided to donate the teddy to the Country Fields Nursery in Ramsgreave.
