Daisy Tattam, aged eight, from Great Yarmouth attends Northgate Primary School and every afternoon after school makes it her one-girl mission to clear the local parks and beach from litter. She even asked for a litter picker for her birthday. She has so far filled over 100 rubbish bags of other people’s litter.

Eight-year-old Eppy Marshall, an Earsham Primary School pupil, raised £60 for Macmillan by baking loads of goodies. Her Mum took them to her colleagues in the Pain Management department at the Norfolk and Norwich University Hospital, where everyone in the department was delighted to support the cause. Previously, Eppy has donated her hair to the Princess Trust.

Chloe, 11, organised a collection at her school, Wicklewood Primary, within a few days of the war in Ukraine starting. She helped load the donations of blankets, sleeping bags, warm clothes along with painkillers, bandages, sanitary products and nappies, plus those from the local Polish Community and other groups, onto a transit van which linked with the Polish White Eagle Club in London and was delivered to Poland.

Henry Webb, seven, from Wymondham and a Spooner Row Primary School, has started fundraising again, this time for the British Heart Foundation.

He raised £1,000 towards updating the sensory and themed areas at Windmill House.

She donated it to the Little Princess Trust, and has so far raised £800 for the charity. The hairstylist donated her time, and they enjoyed cakes baked by Rebecca Lawrence and themed for the charity with butterflies and crowns.

Tommy, six, and Toby Hutchinson, four, of Ormiston Herman Academy, Gorleston On Sea, sent letters, photos and drawings to 999 Ambulance Stations around the UK and the Channel Islands.

They wrote to show their love and appreciation of the Ambulance Service after Toby had five ambulance rides between March and May 2018 due to seizures that were later diagnosed as epilepsy related to a chromosome deletion.

The brothers like to leave bags of treats on the door handles of ambulances and they join in many Random Acts of Kindness following the footsteps of big sister Tia of Tia’s Treasures footsteps.

A huge well done to Norfolk's young people.
