CHEERFUL Matthew Ocasla, of Othery, volunteers his time to work for the charity StreetChild Romania.

He was judged Highly Commended in the Pride of Somerset Youth Awards.

His award nomination reads: "Through no fault of his own, Matt has nowhere to call home and no family to turn to. On his 19th birthday he had no presents, nor celebrations.

"Despite this and other very serious worries, Matt still dedicates a great deal of his time volunteering his services to gain donations for the charity.

"His selflessness truly is an inspiration."

He also recently volunteered to redesign the charity's website.
