Wiltshire students have taken inspiration from the Greatest Showman in their latest fundraiser.
A group of 45 sixth formers from Dauntsey’s School, in West Lavington near Devizes, have created a charity single to raise money for The Nightingales Children's Project in Cernavoda, Romania.
Singing Come Alive, from the musical The Greatest Showman, the group hopes to raise £6,000 to enable the Project to continue to sponsor 15 local girls.

Jane Hubbard, head of charities at Dauntsey’s, said: “The Nightingales Children’s Project has been a long-standing commitment for Dauntsey’s pupils and the summer trip holds a special place in our annual calendar.
The students regularly raise £10,000 each year, which equates to almost a third of the Charity’s annual budget. It has been very disappointing not to be able to run the Summer camp this year and last. Creating a charity single has been a fantastic, Covid-friendly means of raising much-needed funds for Project.”
Dauntsey’s has supported Nightingales for more than 15 years.
