Residents at a hostel providing accommodation for the homeless in York will be opening gifts on Christmas morning courtesy of the Partners team.

The team bought, wrapped and delivered toys, books, toiletries and warm clothing for residents of Ordnance Lane this week, which provides temporary accommodation for people who are homeless and in need in the city.

Partners director Monica Green said: "We worked with employee-volunteering charity York Cares, who every year identify people in need and match them with local people and businesses who want to help.

"The whole team got involved in buying, wrapping and delivering the gifts, and we hope the residents of Ordnance Lane enjoy them and feel cared for this Christmas."
