Proud mum Barbara said: “She’s been speaking to homeless people on the streets in Huddersfield and offering them food parcels.

“She bought some fleeces and gloves from Primark for some so they had some warm clothes.

“She’s had a chat with them. One lad told her he’d not slept for four days. We always check for local hostels or places that can access help so we directed him to one.

Thirteen-year-old Keanna Sheehy collecting for the homeless around Huddersfield.

“I’m really proud of her, our whole family like to think of others, but when your child does something like this you feel so much pride and I know she understands about the world.

“Thank you from Keanna to everyone who donated.”
