A North Yorkshire Charity says it's really important that homeless people don't feel forgotten this Christmas period.

Sleep Safe Selby say they're hosting a big Christmas day dinner with games and presents.

Tracey Romaine runs the shelter: "We want to make sure people feel like they've got a family atmosphere here and we'll get the monopoly out and just have fun. People succeed when they are happy."

The dinner is only possible because of donations from the local community. Tracey says: "The whole of Selby contribute, people bring gifts, people at the local supermarket all contribute, some vegetables some meat, things like that."
