Katie McFarlane at the charity car wash in support of Oxfordshire MIND, by Bicester members of the National CItizen Service
TEENAGER Katie McFarlane took her mind off her GCSE results by cleaning cars in a charity wash.
The car wash was carried out by Bicester members of the National Citizen Service at the Bicester fire station on Tuesday.
It raised more than £200 for Oxfordshire Mind, the charity chosen by the group.
Katie, 16, from Bicester, a pupil at Cooper School, said: “I thought it was really good and lots of people came down so we cleaned lots of cars.
“There were ten of us involved and we probably cleaned about 40 cars. I definitely felt rewarded and I think I was good at doing it.”
NCS is run by Oxfordshire County Council and gives 16 to 17-year-olds the opportunity to contribute to their local community during the summer holidays.
