Home Instead, a provider of in-home care for older adults, is marking the 10th anniversary of its annual "Be a Santa" gift-giving charity drive.
The initiative delivers handmade presents to elderly members of the local community in Altrincham, Sale, and Wythenshawe.
Director Lucy Gill said: "It's important to reach out to those less fortunate at Christmas, and 'Be a Santa' allows us to bring joy to the community with the help of local schools, charities, churches, and community groups."
The gift packs include a 2023 calendar featuring local photographers, a magazine with a local events guide, and a Christmas card made by a local school child.
The packs have been supported by many local schools, including Ashton On Mersey, where a pupil's design won the 2023 calendar competition and will be featured in December.
Home Instead also donated 110 gift packs for the Sale Lions' annual Christmas dinner at the Life Church.
