MERCURY MARVEL: Denise Timbrell


A KIND-HEARTED Bridgwater girl is giving up her summer holidays to raise money for her disabled cousin.

Denise Timbrell, aged 12, wants to help her 18-year-old cousin Nicky, from Luton, who has Down's Syndrome, to buy a new wardrobe.

Denise has set up a stall outside her home in The Copse, in Bower Manor, selling items including puzzles, DVDs, belts and computer games, as well as drinks for thirsty shoppers.

Denise will be running her jumble sale until this Friday, and then again from August 23 until the end of the summer holidays.

She hopes to raise about £60 by the end of the summer.
