Homeless charity Shelter is calling on North-East people to take part in the largest football fundraising event in the country - Strip 4 Shelter.

The charity is asking people to donate 90 minutes of their salary to its work with homeless and badly housed people.

The region's Bradford and Bingley branches are all taking part in the event.

As well as donating wages, employees and school children are being encouraged to wear their favourite team's football strip or colours for a day to raise money.
