7-YEAR-OLD SKYLETTE IN SUMMER-HOLIDAY LITTER PICKS FOR BENJI AND BALU

A 7-year-old girl is looking to raise money for the Wildheart Animal Sanctuary by completing a host of litter picks this Summer. During a recent trip to the park, Skylette became upset about people dropping their litter, and so decided she wanted to do something about it. The 7-year-old loves animals and wanted to raise money for the bears, Benji and Balu, at The Wildheart Animal Sanctuary so she asked if she could do a sponsored litter pick to help raise money for them. Skylette enlisted the help of her 2 brothers, Hartley, 9 and Jobii, 3 and has committed to do at least 1 litter pick a week through the summer holidays. On Monday (5th August) – with the help of her siblings – she managed to collect 3 whole bags of rubbish from the park off Wellesley Way, Newport. They got a lot of positive comments from quite a few members of public, with 1 kind lady even giving them money to buy an ice cream from an ice cream van that turned up.
