A mother from Hatch End has helped raise more than £300 for a special school her autistic son attends.
Monique Lauder, 46, from Hallam Gardens, organised staff and children from Jigsaw Nursery School in Uxbridge Road, Hatch End, to pay a pound to wear brightly coloured clothes instead of their uniforms last month.
All money was donated to Sunfield School in Worcestershire, where her son Zachary, 15, is a pupil and provides full time care for students with Autistic Spectrum Disorder and other severe and complex learning difficulties.
His younger brother, Jacob, eight, also managed to persuade his cub pack, 9th Pinner Cub Scouts and 9th Pinner Rainbows to ditch their woggles and neck scarfs to raise money for the school.
Monique, who is a supervisor at the Hatch End nursery, said: "I am so grateful to Jigsaw Nursery for supporting Sunfield in this way along with cubs, rainbows and brownie packs and I am delighted the local community is getting behind our efforts to support my son in this way.
"I am looking forward to sending a large cheque to Sunfield to support their appeal to improve facilities at the school."
It is hoped enough money will be raised to build a new wing of the school which will be specially designed to meet the specific needs of the pupils.
Monique said: "Because of their very specific learning needs the students at Sunfield simply could not be educated in mainstream schools. The new building will be such a boost to these children."
