A CREATIVE teenager has raised nearly £900 for charity through his handmade sculptures.

Max Smith’s mini masterpieces have been raffled off, with the money raised going to Can Do and My Name’5 Doddie Foundation.

The Dunbar youngster, who has autism and ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), attends Can Do, previously known as East Lothian Special Needs Playscheme.

The North Berwick-based charity will receive £657, with My Name’5 Doddie Foundation, set up by former Scotland rugby international Doddie Weir, receiving £234.

My Name’5 Doddie Foundation was established after the 61-times capped star was diagnosed with motor neurone disease (MND).

Fifteen-year-old Max’s mum, Fiona, was blown away with the success of the fundraiser.

She said: “We were shocked, definitely.

“The amount of money that was raised was unbelievable.

“We just put that we wanted to raise £100 but we were absolutely shocked at how much it actually managed to raise.

“It’s well beyond what we could have imagined.”

Donations for the works of art came not only online but also from kind-hearted customers at the Co-op on Dunbar’s High Street.

The little works of art also caught the attention of people from not just East Lothian.

Fiona added: “One of the models is going to Wales.

“We meet up with friends for the rugby and one of the people that everybody meets up with donated.

“So, one of the models is going to Wales and another woman that donated comes on holiday to Dunbar.

“She saw the models online and it is going to Leeds.”

Max, who attends Knox Academy Meadowpark, started making models out of sheets of paper when he was 10 or 11 years old.

Since then, his talents have spread to tinfoil before the family got him some clay for Christmas.

His artistic interests have continued as he has started making more and more models, with new creations including a frog and swan.
