Worksop schoolgirl transforms family garden into Santa's grotto for event in her nan's memory
A schoolgirl from Worksop has raised hundreds of pounds for charity after transforming her garden into Santa’s grotto.
Libby Peacock, aged 11, hosted a fundraiser for Cancer Research UK as it approaches the anniversary of her grandmother’s death.
Susan Mullen sadly passed away at Bassetlaw Hospice on December 15 2020 after a two-year battle with pancreatic cancer.
To help in the fight against cancer, Libby created a Santa’s grotto in the garden at her home in Furnival Street.

Libby’s mum, Katie Peacock, said she was so proud of her daughter, who had put the event together after school.
She added: “We raised a massive £596 at the event on Saturday. It was a fantastic day.”
In a video posted earlier this year, Libby said: “I want to keep my nannan’s memory alive and raise as much money as I can to help those thousands of people who are fighting just like my nannan did.”
