Pupils help Newcastle's 'magic hat' fundraiser

A young Newcastle fan who found fame among the club's supporters for his "magic hat" has begun a new campaign to support a local food bank.

Wilfy Hodgson, from Chester-le-Street, is aiming to provide 1,000 food items to Newcastle West End Foodbank.

The eight-year-old has previously raised £1,000 for the charity and donated hundreds of Easter eggs.

Now, pupils at Dame Allan's School in Newcastle have stepped in to help him with his campaign.

The young fundraiser is known for his "Bruno's magic hat" - which is named after a supporters' chant about Magpies midfielder Bruno Guimaraes.
