Big-hearted Ruby helps the homeless

NINE-YEAR-OLD Ruby has raised money to help homeless people in Bristol by selling home-made bracelets.

She spent the summer holidays making the bracelets and was offered a pop-up stall at the café in Kingswood indoor market. Customers came up trumps and Taylor Swift fan Ruby sold more than 50 in aid of the Helping Homeless Believe charity as well as securing some more orders.

Proud mum Hayley Britton said: “We were really grateful for the support we received. Ruby wanted to help after seeing so many homeless people by the harbourside a couple of weeks ago. She will use the money to buy and make cakes and sandwiches to give to the charity. She wants to make a difference, which is lovely.”
