Over three thousand meal pouches are being handed out to homeless people in Norwich and Yarmouth.

The initiative by The Garden House, alongside charity Only a Pavement Away, also includes 300 winter warmth flasks.

The charitable activity forms part of Craft Union's Tears for Tiers campaign, aimed at helping local people through the COVID-19 restrictions.

The team at Craft Union will also be giving donations to local food banks and are starting a toy appeal to make sure every child wakes up on Christmas to a present.

Jonathon Childs, operator of The Garden House, said: “It’s an honour to help Only A Pavement Away and their Winter Warmth initiative. Our pub doors may be closed but as always, we will continue to support our communities the best we can.

“Our support to OAPA goes further as we are also advertising their job board and new Covid Resource Hub to ensure as many local people as possible have the opportunity to find work.”
