Penwortham boy sells 100 CDs to raise money for The Baby Beat Appeal in Preston
A talented young singer has raised £300 for Baby Beat by selling CDs of himself singing his favourite song.
Alfie Prout, of Penwortham, has spent the past two years promoting and flogging his cover version of The Writings on The Wall by Sam Smith.He wanted all proceeds to go to The Baby Beat Appeal at Royal Preston Hospital, as it was a charity close to his family’s heart, as his grandma, Diane Prout, had suffered two miscarriages and his mum, Diana, also worked at Fulwood Hall Hospital.And now, after selling 100 copies, the 11-year-old has presented a cheque to staff at Royal Preston Hospital’s Baby Beat Appeal, which provides funding for the two maternity units and neo-natal intensive care unit which are part of Lancashire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.
