Goole college student Emily Robert recently completed a sponsored walk around the outskirts of Goole, raising £200 for the Yorkshire Air Ambulance.

Emily, who is 16, completed the six-mile walk along Westfield Banks in fancy dress as part of her public services course. She said: "I'm doing another walk soon just for fun! I really enjoyed it. I want to thank everyone for their donations."

Emily's tutor, Judi Bowers, said: "I think its fantastic what Emily has done. All the public services course are doing something as part of their enterprise and are thinking up their own ideas to raise money.

"Some of the other students are raising money for the Teenage Cancer Trust and they are all raising money to go to Gambia and help over there."
