The community based charity, which was founded in 1999, capped off another year of helping the needy by providing the warm blankets and clothes.

Narinder Kaur, from the charity, said: "The purpose for such items is the winter fuel crisis many families are facing and will be facing as the weather takes a turn for the worst these next coming months.

"The blankets are massive and the purpose is for a family to snuggle up together to bring them warm as well as together."

She added: "It’s really sad and breaks our hearts that we have had to decide on winter fuel items rather than toys this year. However we see the importance of warmth due to fuel prices increase, bills, cost of living and to prevent hypothermia in children and elderly and those with health problems."
