THE family of Tayyab Akram who was killed in a collision in Wakefield Road, Bradford, last year are marking what would have been his 12th birthday on Saturday, November 19, by offering food for the homeless in Bradford.
Tayyab, from the East Bowling area of the city, was hit by a van on October 13 last year and died of his injuries in hospital six days later.
The family is providing hot food, fresh fruit and drinks which will be handed out to the homeless or anyone else in need of food at the main entrance of Campbell House hostel, in Sunbridge Road, Bradford, between 6pm and 8.30pm.
Bradford Community Kitchen foodbank, in Grattan Road, has arranged for the food to be served with the costs involved being paid for by Tayyab's family.
Family friend Abdul Satar, trustee of Bradford Community Kitchen foodbank, said the family wanted to do something with compassion to help others in Tayyab’s memory.
They held a similar event at the same place last year on what would have been Tayyab's 11th birthday. They had chosen to mark Tayyab's birthday by helping people who were homeless and hungry or simply in need of food.
