CHRISTMAS illuminations at a Malvern house have helped raise funds for a special school in Worcester.

As in previous years, brothers Tom and Tim Leaman decorated the house at Beauchamp Road, Malvern Link, with lights and other decorations, and invited viewers to make donations.

Now they have given £406.61 to Fort Royal Community Primary School, which is raising £17,000 for a new minibus.

Head Ed Francis said: "We are delighted to accept this and really appreciate the work Tom and Tim put in over the Christmas period. Also a huge thanks to everyone who supported their efforts and donated to the appeal."

The appeal also raised £229.96 for Guide Dogs for the Blind, and Tom and Tim want to thank everyone who came to their display and supported both charities.
