CHILDREN and staff at Pendock Primary School 'went purple' for Crohn's and Colitis Awareness Week.

The yearly campaign, led by the charity Crohn's and Colitis UK, raises awareness of inflammatory bowel conditions which affect more than 300,000 people in the UK.

Sally Lyndon-Chance, headteacher of the school near Ledbury, said: "The charity makes a positive difference to the lives of valued members of our school community and we are pleased to do our bit to help the campaign."
