Darren Grainger, 11, is a seasoned fund-raiser. He has run all types of events, including jumble sales, to help charities. His latest effort; a teddy bear's picnic, was for The Mumbles lifeboat appeal. It was held at Treboeth Public Hall, Swansea, and with over 40 tickets sold to plenty of satisfied cuddly customers, £90 was raised for the appeal.
