CHILDREN bounced as many times as they could to help raise money for their club.

The Worcester branch of the National Deaf Children's Society runs a club for deaf children in the city once a month.

But to enable its children to take part in more activities, the branch decided to hold a fun fund-raiser at its home at the Blue Roof, Perdiswell Young People's Club on Droitwich Road, Worcester.

Around 50 children from across Worcestershire use the club to meet other deaf children.

"They go to mainstream schools so there are not many opportunities for them to mix with other deaf children," said Elaine Wilkins, treasurer of the Worcester branch.

"We're also giving parents the chance to meet each other and get support.

"We hope to raise more than £200 from the bounce. The children were raising money for their own club."

The bounce took place on Saturday from 10am until noon.
