SCHOOLGIRL Martha Payne won the Public Campaigner of the Year award after raising more than £120,000 for children in Malawi in a school dinners blog which her local council tried to ban.
Nine-year-old Martha, from Lochgilphead, Argyll, set out to raise funds for the charity Mary's Meals in April with a blog in which she posted daily reviews of the lunches served up at her school, accompanied by a picture of the meal.
