For the last two weeks, six-year-old Harry Dale has been turning comedy into cash to buy food donations for a local foodbank.
The selfless schoolboy has been telling his favourite jokes in exchange for a 50p donation towards the cost of a food shop which will go towards feeding struggling families amid the cost of living crisis. And with the grand total of £35, on Thursday he proudly walked into his local supermarket to buy a list of items which have been running low at North East foodbanks.
Harry's mum, Kelly Dale, from Longbenton, said: "We went to Aldi yesterday to get the food and he wanted to take full control, pushing the trolley, paying for it, the lot. When we were leaving he said 'I feel so happy inside'."
