    It's that time of year when we hear more around the plight of those sleeping on the streets. What we also get to hear is how kind some people are in supporting these vulnerable people.

    We've picked a few stories out that have warmed our hearts and are sure they will yours too..

This guy has worked along side the likes of David Bowie, Diana Ross and Pharrell Williams and has made it his mission to get involved with Centrepoint. He follows in the footsteps of Jon Bon Jovi and Novak Djokovic amongst a host of other celebrities.

    What warms us even more is knowing our friends and neighbours are doing their bit too..
