Halifax-based insurance specialists Caravan Guard is giving away nearly £5,000 to four local food bank charities this Christmas to help families in need across their district.

A hamper full of a dozen assorted food essentials, worth more than £100, was given to Calderdale Smartmove, Halifax to kickstart the charity campaign.

Then four charities were each given £1,200 – the equivalent of £100 a month for the next year – so they could buy the same essential items every month in 2023.
