In previous years, they have saved their pocket money to buy essential gifts for the homeless or those spending Christmas alone.

This year, seven-year old Tayla Goodeve wanted to raise more money to help more people, so she suggested singing Christmas carols to friends and neighbours for extra funds.

She managed to collect £95 from carol singing to buy hampers for those less fortunate this Christmas.

Mum Nikki Goodeve said: “Words cannot express how proud I am of Tayla and how grateful I am to all our lovely friends and family who donated money towards her carol singing.

“She raised a whopping £95 to make up four amazing hampers that will help those less fortunate than us. Overall, it was a humbling experience and hopefully those we met will enjoy their gifts.

“It’s heart-warming to know that there are young people like Tayla who make a difference.”

Tayla’s hard work paid off when she met a number of people she had helped and explained what she had done. They were overwhelmed by her warmth and generosity.
