Burnham-On-Sea's Kingfisher Cub Pack have turned pennies into pounds.

The youngsters have collected hundreds of 1p and 2p coins in aid of the Freewheelers Emergency Blood Bikes this term.  Giles Prewett, Cub Scout Leader, told Burnham-On-Sea.com the children lined up all the coins to see whether they would go round the scout hut.  "They all did a fantastic job and have raised an estimated total of £64.46. The lined up pennies went five times the length of our hall measuring 87.6 metres!"  He added: "We thank all our cubs for their hard work and achievement for fundraising for such a good cause."

The money that cubs collected was handed over to three Freewheelers, who brought along their bikes to the scout hut in Burnham. At the same time, the Beavers handed over nearly £100 that was raised through a sponsored sunflower growing competition.
