An eight-year-old boy who raised money for charity in memory of his mother was among the winners at Sunday's Jewish Children of the Year awards.
At the north London ceremony, staged by Jewish Child's Day and Camp Simcha, Independent Jewish Day School pupil Ben Sinclair received the inspiration award for setting up a sweet shop to raise money for the Gift charity. His mother died when he was two.
The personal achievement category was won by 11-year-old Amy Jo Brownson from Hale in Manchester, who raised £1,500 for charity from a celebrity joke book, Laugh Your Socks Off.
The former North Cheshire Jewish Primary School pupil collected jokes from personalities including Gordon Brown, Daniel Radcliffe and Chief Rabbi Lord Sacks to raise money for the school and Sport Relief.
