IN PICTURES: Admirable Northampton nine-year-old sells handmade bracelets and headbands in aid of vital cancer charity

An admirable nine-year-old from Northampton has hit the ground running in selling handmade bracelets and headbands in aid of a vital cancer charity.

Dolly Diggin raised £70 this month for Macmillan Cancer Support after customers purchased her creations at the Spencer Arms in Chapel Brampton.

Her grandfather Steven Mock has praised her hard work and the fundraising total, especially as the bracelets sold for a very affordable £1.50 and the headbands for £2.50.

The nine-year-old was also hailed by pub landlady Kath, who said it was a great response, and all involved would like to thank everyone who made a purchase in aid of the worthy Macmillan Cancer Support.

Dolly loves designing bracelets and after recognising that so many families and loved ones are affected by the terrible disease, she wanted to do her bit to help stand up to cancer and be glamorous while doing it.

This is not the first time that Dolly has raised money for charity, having raised £56 on Red Nose Day at school earlier this year and she has continued on her success streak.

Dolly was poised behind the bar at Spencer Arms, helped to process donations on the till, and you can see in one of the photos that the nine-year-old had a beaming smile on her face alongside her proud grandfather Steven.

Spencer Arms is a Greene King pub and following the success of Dolly’s fundraising, there is a chance this may take place at other local pubs in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support again soon, and the family say to watch this space.
