Fourteen-year-old Byrchall High School pupil Jessica Smith - the England United Junior Miss - recently completed a 100-mile walk to raise money for the charity Mind.

Jessica's efforts resulted in a total of £160 for Mind - bringing her fund-raising to date to £2160 for different charities such as Young Minds and Giddo's Gift for young cancer sufferers, as well as collecting for the RSPCA.

The teenager has also been collecting Easter eggs for the Wigan Hospital Rainbow Ward's Easter egg appeal.

Proud mum Joanne said: "She also campaigns for young children and teenagers against online bullying - she is trying so hard to make a difference to the world."
