Just so lovely
A Leeds man dubbed Yorkshire's real-life Santa is hoping to raise £50,000 by selling wooden Christmas trees - so he can buy presents for vulnerable children.
"We know it’s an ambitious target, but we want to do something big this year to make a real difference. As the cost-of-living crisis bites, our community partners have advised that the number of school children struggling has doubled in the last 12 months." He continued: "Last year we did about 60 to 70 per cent of the deliveries, and we even had people driving two to three hours to collect trees from my own house. This year I'm working on collection points and Christmas markets in Leeds and the surrounding areas, to get the trees out to the public."
