Gifts will be available to collect from the charity’s foodbank from Monday, December 7, and Key will contact people when their gifts are ready.

The charity, via social media, said: “No child should miss out on the magic of Christmas.

“If you’re a South Tyneside family with children aged 16 or under and need a little extra support this festive season - with gifts and food - we’re here for you.”

Key also urged people to share the application form with anybody they believe could benefit from the help during Christmas time.
