SIR – On behalf of the Salvation Army in Keighley I would like to thank all the wonderful individuals, businesses, churches, schools, service organisations and volunteers who have helped and supported us last year.

We have had some very generous donations of food and money, not just during the Christmas period, but throughout 2012.

Each week we have large numbers of volunteers who come along to help us with our work in the centre, and I would like to say how much we have appreciated all the help they have given us over the years.

Because of our wonderful volunteers and donors, we have been able to support hundreds of people living in poverty in the Keighley area.

On behalf of all of us, thank you for your continuing support of our important work in Keighley and Craven.

Very best wishes for 2013.

Chris Bown, Keighley Salvation Army
