Three girls from Keston set up a lemonade and cake stall in the village and raised hundreds.

Lauren Mace-Pearce, eight, with friends Laura Beard, ten, and seven-year-old Emily Beard, served the refreshments in Lakes Road.

The trio managed to collect £300 at the stand and £400 through a charity page and gave the money to Demelza Hospice Care for Children, which has a unit in Eltham and another in rural Kent.

A local shop donated lemons to the cause and Lauren's mum Sherilee Mace said the children had fun with squeezers, sugar, and sparkling water to get their creations just right.
