SCHOOL children in Hampshire have been raising their voices to bring festive music to Christmas shoppers.
Collecting money for Hampshire Autistic Society, youngsters from schools in and around the Southampton area were among those who performed for shoppers outside Sainsbury's, pictured above, and Marks and Spencer's in Hedge End.
Gemma Atkinson from the charity said this year's singing performances also took place in Fareham Shopping Centre and WestQuay in Southampton.
"It was fantastic this year. So far we have raised £590.87 compared to last year's £228.20," she said.
"All the school choirs have been eager to get involved and the shoppers are loving the Christmas music and carols."
