Kind-hearted schoolchildren are helping make sure the city’s vulnerable don’t miss out on Christmas.

Community-spirited pupils from The Olive Primary created special gift boxes for children in hospital and people in a local care home, as well as collecting for The Salvation Army foodbank.

Residents at the Glades care home in Ribbleton received a visit from pupils who hand delivered the boxes filled with treats.

Parveen Yusuf, the school’s acting principal said the programme is an important part of school life as it helps children to learn about the spirit of goodwill during the festive season.
