A housing association has gifted Christmas hampers to families in need.

Rooftop Housing Group has partnered with Evesham-based charity Caring Hands in the Vale to create hampers for 50 families in the Evesham area.

Staff from Rooftop have since been out delivering the hampers, in a bid to spread some festive cheer.

 “These hampers help the people of Evesham with some treats they may not be able to afford, especially with the rising cost of living,” said Naomi Inman, Rooftop money advisor.

“They are a godsend for a lot of our customers. I cannot thank the Christian Centre and their volunteers enough for the continued support for the people of Evesham.”

Rooftop has also put together hampers for families in need living in other areas in which they operate.

This comes after a “challenging” year in which many of the housing association's customers faced difficulties brought about by the rising cost of living.

Lisa Nicholls, executive director of operations at Rooftop, said: “Thank you to everyone for making this happen, including donations from the public, help from volunteers, and our staff delivering the festive cheer with a smile.

“We always want to support our most vulnerable customers.”
