An 11-year-old boy from Welwyn Garden City is camping out to raise money for rescue dogs.
Inspired by Max Woosey, who slept in a tent for a year to raise money for North Devon Hospice, Ashley Owens, of Brookswood Lane, has been camping in his garden since March 27 to fundraise for ‘Helen McGarry Rehoming Cyprus Dogs’.
Ashley’s family found out about the charity through a friend his mother had met on Facebook, and he wanted to raise money as they do not get any public funding.
