Bristol boy sells his toys to help Himalayan children

An eleven-year-old boy is selling his possessions to help raise money for a charity educating children in Nepal. Patrick Crouch has set out his honesty-based stall near their Horfield home at the junction of Bishopthorpe Road and Wellington Hill West.

Proceeds of the sale will go to the Friends of Himalayan Children – a charity with which Patrick’s family has close connections, as it was founded by a close friend of his mum Caitriona.

FHC works in Batase, Nepal – a rural village of around 400 people, located 3,000 metres above sea level – where it built a school, plus a hostel for those who previously walked several hours a day to reach it.
