Boy, 6, gives his pocket money to the victims

A SIX-YEAR-OLD boy has handed over his pocket money to help the victims of the deadly Grenfell Tower blaze.

Alfie Lindsey visited the estate in west London on Sunday and donated a superhero-themed tin filled with cash he had collected to the Bishop of Kensington, Graham Tomlin.

His father, Arthur, said his son was moved to give his money to those in need after watching the tragedy on television. He estimated around £60 to £70 was in the money box.

“I felt a little bit worried,” Alfie told reporters when quizzed about what he had seen reported in the news.

He said he felt “sad” for the people who lived there.

After making the journey from their Hounslow home, Arthur Lindsey said he was “cut up” when his son said he wanted to give his cash to the victims.

“I am proud of him. It was such a warm feeling, a warm glow when he handed over the cash,” he said of his son, who wants to be a policeman.

The Bishop of Kensington added: “I said ‘have you been collecting’ and he said ‘no, it is my pocket money’. It was absolutely amazing. It is just a little sign of the incredible outpouring of compassion there has been in London as a result of this.”
