HAMPSHIRE schoolchildren have shown their support for charity through song.

Children from primary schools across the region sang carols at venues including Asda in Southampton, Winchester Cathedral's Christmas Market, Fareham Shopping Centre and Marks and Spencer in Hedge End to raise around £2,000 for Autism Hampshire.

The group included students from Lyndhurst Junior School, Oliver's Battery Primary School in Winchester and Foxhills Junior School in Totton.

And Autism Hampshire will be organising similar events next year and are encouraging schools and choirs to sign up by calling on 01489 880881 ext 208 for more details.
