Muhammad Hamza Khan, 15, and Matthew Paul, 16, are currently at the Central Mosque in Birmingham as part of their two-week work experience.

In the spirit of charity fundraising, the mosque decided to raise some money for Children in Need and the boys were more than eager to help.

The teenagers from Braidwood Secondary School donned their Pudsey badges, grabbed their specially prepared buckets and headed for the high street and local schools from where donations have been rolling in.

The young volunteers will also collect during Friday prayers at the mosque and collect in the city centre, not far from the mosque.

Matthew Paul told said "The money we raise will be used towards helping children and teenagers who really need our support."

The two boys can lip-read a little but their main form of communication is using British Sign Language (BSL).

Mosque member of staff Adam Yosef felt it was an admirable act for disadvantaged kids to be raising money for other children.

He said "These are two young boys who are getting on with life just like any other teenagers and as part of being active youngsters, they are helping to collect money for other underprivileged children which is something we should all look up to."

The mosque office is collecting donations for Children in Need throughout the month.

Children in Need is a national charity launched by the BBC in 1980. This year, they are celebrating their 25th Anniversary by having a big Party for Pudsey, the charity's teddy bear mascot.

The charity works with children across the country to better their standard of living and opportunities in life. Children in Need day is on Friday 19th November but the fundraising continues throughout the year.
