A budding young trumpeter from Twickenham has raised over £3,000 for Barnardo’s children’s charity.

8-year-old Nelson played Christmas songs at 12 different hospitals accompanied by his sister Kaja over the 12 days of Christmas.

He earned the title “Boy on the Balcony” after he started playing from his home in Eel Pie Island during the first lockdown 

Nelson, who finished up at Kingston Hospital on the 5th of January, explains why he undertook the challenge.
