A night shelter in Leamington is bringing back its reverse Advent calendar for a seventh year.
LWS Night Shelter, which is based at the Radford Road Church, will be starting its appeal on December 1, where the charity will be posting an image of an item they need on their social media channels every day until December 24.

A spokesperson from the LWS Night Shelter said: “It’s just like an advent calendar but instead of getting something, you give something.
"The Reverse Advent Calendar is our biggest annual appeal for goods, all of which are used in food parcels or in the running of the shelter and directly support homeless and vulnerably-housed people in the local area.
“Your donations make a huge difference to those in need and LWS thanks you for your support.”
