Twins Adam and Yanis Kechida have been raising smiles and funds by roaming the streets of their hometown dressed as Pikachu and T-Rex.
The 11-year-old brothers started their fancy dress mission last March in a bid to lift the spirits of people in Dunfermline during the first lockdown and raise money for charity.
A CALL has been made for youngsters who have gone the extra mile during the coronavirus pandemic to be recognised. Community spirit throughout East Lothian has been praised by councillors and members of resilience groups over the last year. Now, a Haddington and Lammermuir ward councillor is wanting to ensure youngsters who have done their bit are also recognised. Councillor Shamin Akhtar, the local authority’s spokeswoman for education and children’s services, noted many young people had carried out acts of generosity during what had been a difficult time. She highlighted letters of kindness had been sent to local care homes while Christmas bags had been collected for families in their local area through the schools.
