CHILDREN at Worsthorne C of E School, Burnley, collected items and filled 185 shoe boxes to send to Serbia and Albania.

Burnley Rotary Club organised the shoe box appeal and gave the school a list of items, including household toiletries, for boys and girls to put into the boxes.

The collection was organised as a school project for last year's 205 pupils and many taped a £1 coin to the top to help cover transportation costs.
