Schoolchildren in Thetford are staging a car wash next week to help fund an educational camping trip to North Norfolk.

The fourteen members of the Prince's Trust XL Club at Rosemary Musker High School are taking part in the event at Thetford fire station on Wednesday May 14.

The car wash, which will take place between 10am and 2pm, will raise funds for a three day expedition at Holt Hall field study centre next month.

The group will join three other schools from Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service's XLER8 clubs and will learn about camping skills, navigation and boost their team building and communication skills.
