CAREERS advice at a North Yorkshire school will be just the job after a cash boost from an appropriate source.

Easingwold traders have donated £500 to the town's school - and the money will be used to improve information for pupils looking to get on in the world of work.

Easingwold School head Carey Chidwick said she was "delighted" with the donation from the Chamber of Trade and Commerce.

She said: "This will allow us to provide valuable resources for our students."

The chamber decided to back the school in its golden jubilee year.

The donation will be used to develop careers resources in the new sixth form centre, opened in September.
