A SEVEN-year-old boy was so moved by stories of people struggling for survival he set about raising money to help them.

Cameron Crouter asked his grandmother Elaine King, 45, of Windermere Road, Kettering, how he could help poorer people in the world and decided to collect £1 coins from trolley-users at Morrisons supermarket in Kettering.
