Oldham teenager Ibrahim 'Ibby' Yousaf has made an warm-hearted 18th birthday wish.

Ibby has been raising money for more than a dozen charities in Oldham through his various 'Team Ibby' challenges and even donated his own pocket money to good causes.

Now, with his big 18th birthday around the corner, the teenager has pledged to raise £1,818 for two key departments at Royal Oldham Hospital.

The two charities he has chosen are Maggie's, which gives support to families and children suffering from cancer, and Spoons, which supports families of sick and preterm babies.

Ibby said: "They are two wonderful charities.

"So, please, no party or presents. 

"Instead, could you donate £18 or whatever you can as we aim to raise £1,818 for these two wonderful charities as it would be the best 18th birthday present I could ever wish for."

Ibby is 18 on January 9.
