A TEAM of car salesmen from Southampton are pushing a one-ton car decorated by school children in aid of Comic Relief.

Pupils from Berrywood Primary School have plastered the car with funny faces in order for the team from Snows Toyota Hedge End in Botley Road to push the white Ford Fiesta three-and-a-half miles today.

Eight people from the car dealership will put their weight behind the car, pushing it along Botley Road and ending at Silverlake Automotive Recycling Centre in Shedfield.

The dealership hopes to raise about £4,000 for Comic Relief through sponsorship and collections throughout the day, helping to transform people’s lives.

Children from Waltham Chase School are also dressing up today to raise cash, while staff at Hedge End firm eDigitalResearch have been pulling funny faces in a bid to boost the charity effort.

And at Bitterne Park School pupils, pictured below, are rowing the distance of the English Channel and teachers are taking part in their own bake off.
