CARING staff at Keighley social housing group Incommunities helped bring some festive cheer to the homeless.

They donated clothing and hundreds of household items to Horton Housing, as part of a Cares at Christmas campaign.

The group's effort was boosted by Macmillan Cancer Support in Shipley, which gave four large bags of toiletries.

Geraldine Howley, Incommunities' group chief executive, said: "Staff have really shown their caring side to make these donations and support those in our communities that are homeless and in need of help.

"Our collecting was also given a big boost by Macmillan.

"We are delighted to support Horton Housing in its work helping vulnerable people rebuild their lives."

In the run-up to Christmas, Incommunities staff also donated over a thousand items to foodbanks and as a group made financial donations to hospices including Manorlands, at Oxenhope.
