The Cardiff mum running a one-woman charity shop from her home - and everything is free

A mum from Cardiff has re-imagined the concept of a charity shop, by setting up her own version at home and giving away all donations to children for free.

Kayla Ellis, 31, who lives in Fairwater, accepts good quality items appropriate for children aged 16 and under, which she painstakingly sorts through and stores in her outhouse, before delivering them to struggling families all across the city.

Despite launching the project, called 'Love Thy Youth', just two weeks ago, she has already helped 23 families so far - with donations so far including an iPad, a Samsung Galaxy watch, a snooker table, mobile phones and a Wii.
