Students donned their Santa hats as they got into the Christmas spirit of giving at an event in aid of the survivors of Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines.

Approximately 300 people attended Hua Hsia Chinese School in The Broadway, Mill Hill, for the Haiyan Typhoon Fundraising event.

Santa and his helpers gave out gifts to children and students dressed in festive garb as they sang Chinese Christmas carols.

More than £280 was donated on the night, and this has been matched by Barclays bank bringing the school’s total donation to £567.
