Lisa Beth Hamilton (8) from Foxbar in Paisley held a Cup Cake Party in aid of the veterans’ charity Erskine in her garden, not to celebrate the Royal Wedding, but to welcome her Dad Alan back home from a 6 month tour of Afghanistan.


Lisa, who raised the fantastic amount of £101, popped into The Erskine Home in Bishopton with Dad Alan, Mum Elizabeth, wee Brother Lewis and baby sister Lana, to hand the donation over to Erskine Fundraiser Susan O’Neill.


Lisa Beth said: “My Dad is with 5 SCOTS and he is just back from Afghanistan and I wanted to help the soldiers like him.”


Dad Alan said: “I am very proud of Lisa Beth, the party was all her idea and the cakes, which were all donated, were pretty good!”


Fundraiser Susan O’Neill said: “We are very grateful to Lisa Beth and her family for this wonderful donation. Every single penny goes towards ensuring our veterans of all ages receive first class care.”
