The volunteers also provide 100 rucksacks containing warm clothing and essential toiletries - and they are inviting readers to donate some of the items needed to fill them if they wish.

Items needed include shampoo, shower gel, deodorant (no aerosols), toothpaste, toothbrushes, and sanitary products.

Donations can be dropped off at the YEP reception, fourth floor, 26 Whitehall Road, Leeds, LS12 1BE on weekdays between 10am-3pm. The last day for donations is Tuesday, December 18.
