A firm of insurance brokers is backing a sixth former as she raises money for a trip to China.

Laura Holt, who is in Year 12 at Guiseley School, is fundraising for the class to go to the Far East next year and work with orphaned children, try their hand at teaching and help with water distribution at selected villages.

Each of the 11 teenagers needs to raise £4,000 and Laura has been helped by JM Glendinning Insurance Brokers to reach her target.

The company has raised £250 collected from donations every Friday, when staff dress casually to come to work.
