Christmas presents, donated by staff and suppliers of housing provider Incommunities, are being distributed across Bradford to support those in need. More than 200 gifts have already been donated to the shoebox appeal and are making their way to the recipients. Nick Warden, head of assets at Incommunities, said: "Our suppliers have been great.
"I just made them aware of the appeal, and they dug deep, arriving with sackloads of presents for our customers in need." Emma Warden, from the Money Matters support team at Incommunities, said: "We have so many customers who don’t have the support of family and friends, and this time of year can be really difficult for them. "Many are struggling financially, so Christmas gifts are just not in their budget.
"Everyone deserves a little bit of happiness at Christmas. "We hope that our gifts will bring that little bit of cheer."

Andy Bampton, from the charity, said: "This donation is very much appreciated by us all at Andy’s Man Club. "We couldn’t do what we do without support from people like the team at Incommunities.".
