Darlington Oxfam shop manager Marion Cowper was astounded when a nine-year-old cub scout told her he wanted to raise money for the charity.
She was even more surprised when Jason Simpson returned to the shop in Bondgate and gave her a £22.10 donation.

In addition to donating money to the charity, Jason recruited a volunteer for the Darlington shop by distributing leaflets at the gala
