A six-year-old South Ribble girl has been carrying on her charitable endeavour to raise money for the people of Ukraine this Easter.

In 2022, Eden Buckley, started her fundraising journey by making ‘Stand with Ukraine’ mugs to help fund the relief effort.

Overall she has raised £823 for donations and now has sights set on reaching a target goal of £1000.

This Easter holiday Eden helped make Easter bunnies for her little brother and his friends, which ultimately sparked an idea to create personalised Easter bunnies to raise even more money for Ukraine.

Through her latest activity, the youngster raised £405 and has donated the money to the DEC Ukraine appeal.

Eden continues to ask about the conflict and the ways in which she could make a positive change.

Mum Joy Helliwell, said: “She worked so hard on this, and her Dad and I are really proud of her.

“We lost count, but she has done over 80 bunnies. She’s already thinking about what she can do next to continue her fundraising.”
