A seven-year-old has set herself another festive fundraising challenge for a food bank charity.
Saphia Turner, from Fenstanton, has given herself the target of doing 170 burpees and 250 jumping jacks before Christmas.
She is breaking the challenge down into manageable tasks and is aiming to do at least five burpees and a few more jumping jacks every day.
Saphia has already raised almost £200 of her £300 target.
The money will be used to buy food for The Trussell Trust, which supports food banks across Cambridgeshire.

Her mum, Kate Turner said: “We’re unbelievably proud of her.
“Saphia feels very deeply and when she learned there were others less fortunate than her, her reaction was to help.
“She also wanted to set herself a challenge, and burpees were the hardest exercise we could think of.”
The money went towards three Tesco trolleys of food and supplies for The Trussell Trust.
In 2021, aged five, Saphia's fundraising efforts went to a charity that supplies Christmas gifts to children.
