TEENAGE telly star Jack Stanley raised money for his local church.
Jack, who appeared in Educating Greater Manchester made a hamper and sold tickets to raise £300.
Jack decided to donate the proceeds to the food bank at Wharton and Cleggs Lane Church, part of the Farnworth and Kearsley Food bank.
He handed over the money to minister at the church, reverend Sarah Knebel, and food bank manager, Margaret Parry.
Rev Knebel said: “What a wonderful, kind and caring gesture particularly coming from someone so young.
“To recognise that local people are in need and be prepared to do something to support them is a fantastic gesture and Jack’s family must be so proud of him.”
Jack won the hearts of the nation when appearing in the TV series Educating Greater Manchester, set in Harrop Fold School in Little Hulton, when he befriended and took under his wing new boy, Rani.
Jack is also a talented cricketer, following in the footsteps of of his father Mark and Uncle Ian who both are well- known and both played cricket for Little Hulton for many years.
Well done, Jack.
