Coronavirus Scotland: Glasgow girl selling rainbows to raise cash for NHS staff during pandemic

A Scots youngster is showing her appreciation to the NHS during the coronavirus outbreak by selling rainbows to raise cash for NHS heroes.

Little Halle Glass, 6, from Balornock, Glasgow, decided she wanted to do her bit to help during the Covid-19 pandemic and came up with a bright idea.

After enlisting the help of her mum Samantha, dad William and brother Cooper, 9, Eastbank Academy pupil Halle began drawing and colouring rainbows and selling them for £2.

So far the schoolgirl has raised over £600, which she hopes will make a difference to staff working on the frontline.

Proud mum Samantha, 29, told The Daily Record: "We just thought we'd be making them for friends and family, now we're sending them all over Glasgow.

"I was taken aback when she said she wanted to donate what she made to the NHS. It was so lovely to hear.

"I think she began thinking about it because we were out doing our clap for the NHS last week and she's been watching the news constantly.

"To know that her wee rainbows are up in people's windows bringing some joy and making people smile at this tough time is so nice."

Halle said she has a strategy to make her idea a success.

She said: "Because of the coronavirus I can't touch people so I'm wearing gloves to collect the money.

"It's going great and I'm having a lot of fun making them.

"Thank you to everyone who has bought one of my special rainbows."
