The spirit of Christmas burns bright in this wonderful photo from Leeds in the mid-1990s.

It shows workers at a soup kitchen at St George's Crypt caring for the hungry and the homeless in December 1996. It is one of more than 15 photos featured in our gallery of memories from the month. It was a 31 days which also saw Tetley's Brewery responded to an appeal for office furniture from Leeds Childline Centre and retailer B&Q help raise money for a cancer charity with the help of a Leeds RL legend.
