STAFF from Yorkshire Housing helped to bring about some festive cheer in the run up to Christmas, after volunteering at a food bank last month.

The housing association spent four afternoons in a warehouse, sorting out donations that were made to the Bradford Central Foodbank.

Organiser Natalie Rogers said, "Yorkshire Housing does have a social purpose to the business and I think there's a lot of heart here. It's been great to take this to another organisation, where we can do our bit to help families and individuals in crisis in the communities we serve."

Josie Barlow, manager at Bradford Central Foodbank, said "Yorkshire Housing have been really helpful. We can't thank them enough because the families we support have got nowhere else to turn."
