Alfie's stall raises more than £100 for Northampton care home

Alfie Raines, from East Hunsbury, may be young but his fundraising skills are mighty.

On Friday the youngster had a brainwave to raise some money for a good cause but he wasn't sure what to do.

After chatting with his mum the pair thought it would be a worthwhile idea to set up Alfie's very own food and drink stall outside his nan's house in Duston, where he is living while his mum is working.

'The Amazing Alfadog' stall, which sold homemade cakes at 20p, sweets at 5p and squash at 10p, was so successful on Saturday he decided to do it all over again the next day.

After tallying up his grand total, Alfie has raised £105, which has been given to Timken Grange Care Home where his auntie Helen works.

His mum, Vikki Raines, said: "Me and his dad are so proud as this is a massive confidence boost for Alfie.

"He's never done anything like this before.

"He wore gloves all weekend, made masks and wanted to sell so much - teas, coffees and cakes."

Vikki, who is working full time for Nationwide, finished her shift on Friday and immediately started baking cakes for her son all evening ready for the stall over the weekend.

She added: "He’s shown the community that we can all stick together in hard times and support each other.

"The children, Alfie, Isla and Amelia, were over the moon when we told him how much they had raised."
