Sussex schoolboy, five, dresses up in 26 costumes to raise money for charity

A five-year-old schoolboy has raised more than £150 for charity by dressing up as 26 different characters.

Ethan Taylor, from Felpham in West Sussex, is in reception class at Chichester Free School (CFS). Along with his older brother, who has autism, he attends Parents and Carers Support Organisation (PACSO) sessions at St Pancras, Chichester. A CFS spokesperson said: “Ethan and his brother have both enjoyed weekly video calls with play leaders and as a family they wanted to help raise money. Ethan loves dressing up and was very eager to help with the fundraising. So he wore 26 different costumes in one day. He says he did it because, ‘I love going to Pacso’. Huge well done to Ethan.” According to his mum Leonie, Ethan has raised £155 so far. She added: “He loves dressing up and is very pleased that he is helping Pacso. He has also sorted out boxes of toys and books which he has left outside our front door for children to take on their daily walks.”
