A nine-year-old YouTube star has delivered gifts to staff at Sheppey Community Hospital.

Lilly Buck set herself 10 tasks to complete in her home in two weeks with the hope of raising enough money to create individual care hampers for NHS workers.

On Thursday she and her family dropped some off to delighted district nurses at the Island's hospital in Plover Road, Minster.

Lilly from Snodland raised more than £1,800 by completing a series of challenges with the help from young sister Isabelle, six, dad Paul, 35, and mum Sam, 33.

Mr Buck said: "She wanted to do something personal by giving as many workers on the frontline a gift as possible. We had the idea of hampers so they get an individual personal touch."

Challenges included learning the rainbow dance in sign language, hosting a live quiz on YouTube, reading a bedtime story, learning 10 TikTok dances, running up and down stairs 1,400 times, riding a bike, asking 10 people to shave a part of their body, doing 100 skips, counting to 20 in Spanish and playing five tricks on her family.

Mr Buck added: "Everyday she was asking what she could do next. She only set a target of £100 so we're all really proud of what she's achieved."
