A KIND hearted six-year-old raised hundreds of pounds to provide over 31 struggling families with a Christmas food hamper. Annabelle Pound from Ulverston came up with the idea after watching a CBBC Newsround bulletin about children whose family would be struggling over Christmas due to Covid-19. Inspired, Annabelle, with the help of her parents, decided to speak to local schools to ask them for assistance in distributing Christmas food hampers get to families who needed them. The service was done anonymously and Annabelle hoped the initiative would bring a smile to children’s faces. Amazingly, Annabelle managed to raise £400, which allowed her to feed 31 families with food hampers in the area.
