Youngters took part in a charity car wash in Easton to raise money for a children's charity.

Young people and staff from Action for Children helped wash cars and raise money for the charity that provides support for children and their families in the Easton area.

The fundraising car wash took place in the car park behind Monte Carlo Café on Stapleton Road.

Vince Spaulding, Action for Children EMAP (Easton Multi Agency Project) project worker, said "The kids from our project wanted to help raise money for Action for Children, which is celebrating its 140th birthday this year, and we thought getting our hands dirty and cleaning a few cars would be a fun thing to do."

Action for Children EMAP is funded primarily by Bristol City Council Children and Young People Services.

The charity aims to provide preventative services and direct support for children, young people and their families, as well as giving advice and signposting to other services who have been identified as needing extra support.
