STUDENTS of Gateway Learning Community invited Re-engage Thurrock to their recent charity fundraiser at Tilbury's Gateway Academy, along with other local senior citizens.

The guests were treated to a delicious meal and entertainment.

As part of the fund-raising event guests enjoyed a game of bingo and a raffle with all profits going to the students' chosen charity.

Re-engage local co-ordinator Loraine Coleman said: "A very big thank you to our two lovely volunteers June and Richard for taking our lovely tea party guest Jean (pictured).
