A CWMCARN teenager is raising funds for good causes after being inspired by her late father’s charity work.

Hannah Green, 18, has been putting her baking skills to good use and holding cake sales to raise hundreds of pounds for causes including Jack’s Appeal and even her own school.

And the youngster says it is her late father Christopher Roy Green, who was involved with more than 30 charities and received an MBE in 1994, who is her inspiration.

Most recently, The Cwmcarn High School pupil spent the Easter holidays making cakes and ran a cake sale at Cwmcarn OAP Hall in a bid to raise funds for two-year-old Freya Bevan, of Neath, who needs £250,000 for treatment on a brain tumour – which is only available in the US. Hannah raised £206.

To add to this, back In 2013, Hannah raised more than £300 for her school and later that year she raised £150 for road safety charity RoadPeace. In 2014, she raised around £300 for Jack’s Appeal – the Argus-led campaign in memory of Oakdale teenager Jack Thomas which we announced this week had reached its target to fit heart defibrillators in every secondary school in Gwent.

Hannah’s most recent event saw her raise £206.She said: “I have done quite a few cakes sales in the past and I enjoy doing it. If nobody else is going to do one I am happy to do it.”

“I saw Freya’s Facebook page and I just messaged her mother saying I would like to do something to help her.She added: “My dad passed away when I was two years old. He gave me the courage to do this; nobody else has inspired me as much as he did.”

Mr Green was wheelchair-bound due to muscular dystrophy and died of pneumonia in 2000.

Hannah’s mother, Belinda Bright, said: “She does it all off her own back but it’s in her blood to do it.

“Cwmcarn is a very charitable village, the people are so giving and they are always raising money for different causes.The ladies at the hall were great. They let us have the hall for free which was so kind.”
