Aarav and Eshaal, both aged ten, said: "We feel proud because I like helping people, especially in the middle of the pandemic when no one is seeing anyone.
"We are grateful that Parkgate Juniors helps older people to be happy and not to feel left out."
Age UK’s Kerry James added: "We are completely overwhelmed by the generosity from the children and parents at Parkgate Junior school.
