Members of Champions Academy UK, headed off to Sainsbury's Brentwood at the weekend as part of their ongoing fundraising efforts. Over 20 children from the basketball club based at Shenfield Sport Centre offered help to Sainsbury's customers packing their bags throughout the day.

Alexandra Potter, director of the club, said "It's a great opportunity Sainsbury's have given us to allow the young people to come along and help others whilst raising money for their club."

Club parents were also present to lend a hand to the younger members of the club who were keen to help.

"We were delighted by the support and interest the local people showed and their donations raised £650.00 which will be used to purchase new kits and equipment for the club".
