A FIVE-YEAR-OLD boy has raised more than £250 for a North Berwick group by selling his baby toys.

Bodhi Watson, a P1 pupil at Law Primary School, collected £285 for the Kindness Cooperative, which supports people in the area struggling financially.

His mum Wendy was proud of the youngster and said: “It was his idea to raise money by selling his baby toys for those who do not have enough money to buy what they need.”

Katie Nevans and Hilary Smith were delighted to accept his donation on behalf of the Kindness Cooperative.

Katie said: “The money will be used to provide essential support to families in need across the ward.

“Unfortunately, we are seeing a rise in demand, with more families experiencing financial difficulties.

“Thanks to fantastic people like Bodhi, we can continue to offer help with food, fuel and other practical items.”
