A CHARITY  helping the homeless is urging people to come along to a fundraising event and support their Christmas appeal.

Starter Packs Inverclyde are hosting a coffee morning in St Mary's Church Hall in Greenock on Tuesday, November 26.

They are also looking for Christmas gifts donations including including hats, scarves and gloves for children and adults.

They are also appealing for selection boxes, chocolates and biscuits to put in their packs during the festive period.

Starter Packs Inverclyde sends out parcels to help those who are homeless settle into new tenancies all year round.

All are welcome to show their support at the coffee morning next Tuesday, with doors open from 10am until 12 noon. Entry costs £3.

Find out more about the charity's work at the 'Starter Packs Inverclyde' page on Facebook or by calling 01475 787141.
