A group of pupils at Monmouth School for Boys has spent weeks cutting out and sewing Christmas face coverings to raise money for the mental health charity, Mind.
Thirteen-year-old Alex Simmons, a former pupil at Cross Ash Primary School, has initiated the fund-raiser.
Alex, a student in Year 8, has been supported at home by his mum, Gillian, and by Ms Sheila Mone and Mrs Nuala O’Carroll at school in Monmouth.
The project, driven by Year 7 and 8 pupils, is taking place at Monmouth School for Boys to raise awareness of the Mind charity and to help improve mental health among young people.
Ms Mone, an Art teacher and Houseparent, and a team of boys have spent lunchtimes and weekends at Chapel House to make the fantastic masks by hand.
The coverings are available from the school, priced £5 each, and more than £500 has already been raised for Mind.
