PORLOCK community fundraiser Kelly Creech has been busy stepping out in aid of two more good causes.

Fresh from successfully completing two sponsored swims - in full fancy dress - Kelly again decided to dress up for her latest fundraising endeavour.

This time, she donned a Little Red Riding Hood outfit for a 13-mile sponsored walk from Porlock Weir to the Culbone Inn via Culbone Church and back to the weir.

She was joined along the route by Shane and Thomas Prideaux, Neil and Elliot Binding and Roger Hall and, between them, they raised £1,178 for Williton's Croft House residential home and Culbone Church.

Kelly said both the route of her walk and the good causes had been chosen in honour of former Culbone resident Jeff Cox who now lived at Croft House.

"It was with Jeff in mind that the idea came to me in the first place.

"He was taken ill suddenly in 2012. He and his wife Jean had always done a lot for Porlock and done charity work themselves," Kelly said.

As Mr Cox lived in Culbone, the remainder of the money was given to Colin Burke, the vicar of Culbone parish, to help with the upkeep of the church and the parish boundaries.

Kelly thanked everyone who had supported her latest fundraising effort - and warned that she was about to unveil another money-spinning idea to help 12 local and national charities.

"I will be continuing my random fundraising with an Exmoor Belles calendar, something I have been working on since January 2013.

"It will be launched at Porlock Arts Festival in September this year and will help to promote the local businesses that have advertised in it," she said.

All Kelly would reveal about the project was that it featured "beautiful Exmoor ladies in stunning local surroundings as never seen before"!
