Crowd-funding website set up to raise £16 for birthday-party invoice

A crowd-funding website has been set up to raise £16 after a five-year-old was billed for failing to attend a friend's birthday party.

Alex Nash, from Cornwall, was invited to the party just before Christmas. An invoice for £15.95 was sent by his schoolfriend's mother, who said Alex's non-attendance left her out of pocket.

The website has raised £12 so far from four donors. Any money raised over £16 will be donated to the NSPCC.
