SIXTH formers at Mansfield's All Saints' School, from left, Niral Nina, Grace Keegan, Hayden Bowman, Stacey Hinchley, Colum O'Shea and Dean Swift swap their lunch for soup to raise funds for charity.
Students made the swap, buying a simple lunch of soup and a roll and donating their surplus lunch money to families affected by HIV and AIDS in Mozambique.
The fundraiser was thought up by sixth form pupils in the school's charity committee to coincide with the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development (CAFOD) Family Fast Day.
Annemarie McElhatton, assistant chaplain at the school, said: "It went very well, we had about 50 students taking part and we managed to raise a total of £195.74.
"It marks the start of our charity drive this year, and we'll have lots of other events happening throughout the year."
