CHILDREN performed their party pieces and sang carols to boost fundraising efforts for All Saints Church and for people who serve in the forces.

Father Christmas and the fundraising team turned up at the Corn Market in High Wycombe from midday on Christmas Eve for chances to win prizes in raffles and to mingle in the festive spirit.

Some of the money raised will be used to help in the running of the 900-year-old parish church in Castle Street, High Wycombe.

Cash raised will also be used for the Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen and Families Association Forces Help (SSAFA). The association helps serving and ex-servicemen, women and their families in need.
