WRISTBANDS promoting an anti-bullying message have been a sell-out at a Huddersfield school.
Reinwood Junior School at Oakes has been selling the fashionable blue wristbands as part of its campaign against bullies.
The bands have the words Together We Can Stop Bullying on them. They have been sold for £1 each, with money going to Kidscape, the charity dedicated to preventing bullying.
The colour blue has been chosen for its message (Be Lovely and Understanding to Everyone).
Nationally, a Big Brother winner and a talk show queen are taking on the school bullies as councils across the country join in the fight against bullying.
Reality TV star Anthony Hutton and chat show hostess Trisha Goddard are backing council-organised events.
