Kind-hearted youngster William Cassanell from Hull, East Yorkshire, has raised more than £100 to buy hats, gloves and scarves for homeless people. Little William Cassanell, six, decided to start the generous fundraising campaign after spotting the picture of a homeless man on a website. His first philanthropic endeavour was to take part in a sponsered silence, with donations coming from friends and family. The youngster, from Hull, East Yorks., then used that money to buy winterwear for the homeless. William's mum, Vikki Rooney, said: "I was just scrolling through my Facebook and there was a picture of a homeless man sat on the street. "William saw the picture too and he asked me why the man looked so sad.
