Victoria and Catherine Glynn, aged six and seven, and their cousin Ben Ellis, ten, saw the Mount Noddy appeal on the Observer website and decided they wanted to help.

The Medmerry Primary School and Birdham CE Primary School pupils set up a cake sale in the girls’ front garden in Broad View, Selsey, and raised £80.53, as well as receiving donations of cat and dog food.

The children’s efforts did not stop there though – they also convinced Selsey pet shops The Pet Pantry and The Fruit Basket, as well as their local Co-op, to donate more food to the Mount Noddy centre.

The girls’ mother, Michaela Duquemin, helped the children deliver the money and food to Mount Noddy this morning, and said the charity was ‘over the moon’ at the donation.

Mount Noddy is asking for donations to be sent to RSPCA Sussex, Chichester and District Branch, Mount Noddy Animal Centre, Blackmill Lane, Eartham, Chichester PO18 0LL. Registered charity number 206300.

Anyone who wants to help can also donate on the charity’s JustGiving page or on the Mount Noddy website.
