Nine-year-old Harry Makepeace has once again been doing his bit to raise funds for Westway Open Arms.

Seamer and Irton Primary School pupil Harry is now in his fourth year of raising money to support the foodbank at the Eastfield charity.

Harry, who plays for the Yorkshire coast under 10s football team, raised the money by selling Cadbury hot chocolates, reindeer food and sweet cones.

However, this year has been a little different, not content with just one fundraising effort, Harry also made a donation to the food bank in October, after completing the McCain Sponsored Fun Run.

Scarborough Athletic-mad Harry said, “I hope these presents make some children happy.

"This year I bought pet food as well as food, just in case there are any hungry animals, we’ve got to look after them too.

"Next year will be my fifth year raising money for Westway and I can’t wait to get started.”
