The ribbons have been sold in the staff room at Boothferry Primary School, and are available now at 50 pence each from the Goole Times office in Boothferry Road and Beauty Box stall in the Market Hall.

Two school girls from Goole have been working hard over the weekend to make badges in a bid to raise money for the Madeleine McCann 'fighting fund'.

Nicole Mahoney-Winton and Amy Foster-Flack (right, 24-05-51 GT), both nine years old and pupils at Boothferry Primary School, have been making yellow ribbon badges since last Friday in order to raise money for the trust fund set up to help in the search for four-year-old Madeleine McCann (inset), who disappeared from an apartment in the Algarve resort of Praia da Luz on May 3.

More than £60 has been raised so far towards the cause, and the girls say that they will carry on making the badges as long as people keep wanting to buy them.

Ribbon has been donated from Cottage Inspirations Florists at Hedley Court, Boothferry Road, so that Nicole and Amy can continue their goodwill gesture. Nicole and Amy would like to thank Cottage Inspirations for its kind donation, as well as everyone who has bought a badge.
