School blogger raises more than £60,000 for charity

Martha Payne has raised more than £60,000 for charity after her school food blog got the world's attention

A nine-year-old blogger has raised more than £60,000 for charity after a council overturned a ban on her taking photos of her school meals.

Donations to Martha Payne's fundraising website are continuing to pour in today after she was told she could resume posting photos to her NeverSeconds blog, which reviews her meals at her school's cafeteria in Lochgilphead, Argyll.

She had set herself a target of reaching £7,000 for Mary's Meals, a charity running school feeding projects in impoverished communities around the world, but the total currently stands at £64,249.07.
