VOLUNTEERS are giving up their time over the Christmas holidays to provide support for people in the community who may be struggling during the festive season.

StretfordM32 is run by a small group of local volunteers who are offering a friendly face, a hot meal or food parcels at the community building in Victoria Park.

Organisers say that anyone, no matter what their circumstances are, is welcome to drop in for a meal or some company.

StretfordM32 has been supported by the Stretford Foodbank, Kelloggs and Forever Manchester.

The project is running from December 23 to December 27 and then December 30 till Jan 3.
