Lucas’ mum, Sam Newsome said: “The children went to great efforts to raise money for charities they care so much about. Sam’s grandma, who passed away last year, spent time at Overgate hospice so Sam wanted to do something to give something back. The day was a great success - Lucas and Beth worked great as a team.”
