A YOUTH charity is appealing for help to provide warmth and food for youngsters over the Christmas period.

Thirsk Clock is looking for help to aid vulnerable youngsters over the festive period.

Last year staff at the Market Place based youth shelter opened the Clock on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

They provided warmth and food, from donated food, to 50 teenagers at the facility.

To help support this year’s aid package contact the Clock on 01845-524494 or at its base.

Money can be sent via cheque made payable to Thirsk Clock to Thirsk Clock, 20 Market Place, Thirsk, Y07 1LB.
