Penguin-seekers paid for maps and went looking for window displays and garden features in Rayne, then voted for their favourites.

They raised £625.36 for the village's primary and nursery school.

Emma Wood, Rayne Parent-Staff Association vice-chair, said: "We are so incredibly grateful to the community for taking part.

"The penguins were so original.

"There were hundreds of maps sold and it was delightful to see happy smiling faces walking through the village."

Emma added: "The winner of the draw was a pupil at the school.

"She was so delighted she danced round the room when her name was called!"
