Marks & Spencer in Bradford is urging customers to help raise money for its annual Shelter appeal to support homeless families.

The chain has launched a range of limited edition Christmas foods and cards and will make a donation every time one of the specially- labelled products is bought.

Sylvia Simpson, service manager of Shelter in Bradford, said: "The money already raised by M&S customers has made a massive difference to families experiencing housing problems.

"This money has enabled Shelter to provide vital services for families who are facing homelessness, living in overcrowded conditions or just need help finding a decent home.

"But there is still a lot more work to be done. By simply buying a specially-labelled Shelter product from the M&S Christmas range during your lunch hour, you can help families facing an uncertain Christmas."
