Christmas is a special time of year that isn’t just about eating, drinking and being merry – it’s a time to show our loved ones how much we care and help those most in need through the act of gift-giving.
Whether you’ve donated Christmas presents or funds to charity this festive season, there’s no better time of year than Christmas to help others and show our support for local causes.
Take a look at our nostalgic selection of festive photos in the gallery below, which documents a number of charitable acts in Hull and Beverley from the late 1990s to the mid-2000s.
After all, being kind and generous is something that never goes out of date.
