YOUNGSTERS took on a charity walk for a children's hospice.

National Citizen Service Southend Group One completed a 10 mile walk from Shoebury Beach to Little Havens Hospice in Thundersley, in support of the hospice on Wednesday August 8.

In addition to completing the walk, the students have been holding tin collections and handing out leaflets in the community to help raise awareness about the care Little Havens provides to seriously ill babies, children and their families across Essex.

The hospice works to make every day count for children adults with life-limiting illnesses in Essex.
