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.
