Rhys, who lives in Pennywell and attends Christ’s College, is going to be joined on Friday November 29 by teachers from his school to trek six miles through the city and along the coast to Seaburn to raise money for Sunderland Community Soup Kitchen’s Christmas dinner appeal.
The Soup Kitchen’s Christmas dinner appeal is looking to raise £10 per person to cover the cost of a three course Christmas meal “with all the trimmings” for those in need.
In September Rhys and his sister Gabrielle completed a seven mile walk to raise money for the charity and when he saw their new appeal, Rhys made it his mission to get his walking shoes back on and do what he can to help.
“I’ve recently seen a few people homeless on the streets in the city centre and I feel really bad for people in need,” said Rhys.
