Christmas shoebox appeal for homeless in Swansea

Three friends from Swansea who set up a Christmas shoebox appeal to help homeless people over the festive period have been overwhelmed by the response.

Around 2,500 boxes and bags have been donated since they put out a call for help via social media.

The donations for men and women include food, toiletries and warm clothing.

Leah Flint, from the Swansea Vale, along with Louise Evans-Leigh and Heidi Rees have been collecting from 50 different drop-off points around south Wales, from Ammanford to Maesteg.
