The Lord Mayor of Bradford has released the first funds raised through his Sprinkle Sunshine charity appeal.
Councillor Dale Smith presented a cheque for £1,000 to Hope Housing, a Bradford charity which helps the homeless, during a meeting of fundraising volunteers in City Hall.
Hope Housing began nearly four years ago. Its volunteers offer a spare room for the night to a homeless person.
Hope Housing was one of five organisations highlighted by the Lord Mayor to benefit from his appeal.
He said: “I am thrilled at the way Bradfordians have empathised with my appeal’s concept.”
