Kind-hearted youngsters spent their afternoon selling sweet treats to raise hundreds of pounds to help those affected by the war in Ukraine.
10-year-old Poppie Thorpe has been baking for the Open Door coffee shop in Bardney, making all sorts of delicious treats including tray bakes, cupcakes, giant cookie slices and more.

The girls selflessly donated their pocket money to buy ingredients for the bake sale, so that every penny raised will be sent to charity to help children like themselves in Ukraine.
So many people came out to support the girls, there were queues stretching out the door.
The girls raised £820 with money still coming in.
Poppie’s mum, Kerry, said: “We are so proud of them all. “They had extra class mates turn up to help and the community came out to support them, it’s amazing. They are all so happy.”
