The team at Lakeside Healthcare Corby and Brigstock surgeries have donated hundreds of gifts to be distributed to the local homeless community.

The festive items were handed over to members of the Rough Sleeper Outreach Team at North Northants Council and they will be handed out over the coming days.

Sarah Laycock, the Rough Sleeper Coordinator said: 'The donations will be spread across rough sleepers across north Northants, also people who are experiencing homelessness and maybe those we have supported into accommodation. A lot of people that we support have experienced trauma so this time of year can be quite difficult and we ensure we have wrap around support for them. Donations like these make a huge difference so thanks to everyone at Lakeside surgeries who donated.'
