Vicky shared her experience of visiting Hebburn Helps with BBC Breakfast.

She described the work carried out by volunteers as 'incredible' but found it sad that in this day and age there is still people struggling to put food on the table or to buy sanitary products. Comic Relief will air on BBC 1 on Friday, March 15.
