Matthew Moss has been successful in reaching their target of £3,000 to build Counselling Rooms at New Canaan School, Lugazi, Uganda.
Over the last academic year the learners & staff have organised many fundraising activities, ranging from cake sales to non-uniform days to reach their goal.
Headteacher Mark Moorhouse said: "What started as a project to donate stationery from Matthew Moss to the Ugandan school, developed into us taking on the challenge of funding the building of a much needed Counselling Room for the children, teachers and community of Lugazi.
"We are incredibly proud of this achievement and support that has been received from the learners & staff of Matthew Moss School."
