A PENSIONER who is described as considerate to others by her daughter has received some festive cheer.
As reported, the Grimsby Telegraph has teamed up with the Artie White Foundation for the charity's 12 Days of Christmas campaign, during which food hampers and toy vouchers are being donated to deserving people.
Judith Jobson, 84, of Queens Court, Grimsby, was overwhelmed to have been chosen for a hamper.
The selfless woman was nominated by her daughter, Helen Falder, who says her mum "never asks for anything for herself and sometimes misses a meal to save her pension.
"She will always consider other people and put them first."
Mrs Jobson, who says she is a private person, will now stock up her cupboard with the extra treats provided.
She said: "Inside the hamper were things such as a jar of pickle, cakes, puddings and more – lots of useful items.
"I was shocked to hear that the charity was giving me a hamper.
"I like to keep myself to myself and don't really think I have done that much to deserve such a thing."
Mrs Jobson is in full support of the charity for doing such a good deed over Christmas.
She said: "During the winter months every little helps and this hamper is certainly very welcoming."
Grimsby Telegraph readers can still nominate someone to receive a hamper by filling in the form on this page.
It could be someone who always goes that extra mile for others, a young family struggling to buy presents, or an elderly person facing the prospect of spending Christmas alone.
Whoever they are, you can put a smile on their face.
The people will be chosen by committee members of the Artie White Foundation, and each presentation will be reported in the paper.
Barry Meadows, chairman of the Artie White Foundation, said: "Christmas is a special time of year, but it can also be a difficult time for many people.
"I was delighted to have been able to give Judith this special hamper.
"The Artie White Foundation has supported local charities for the past 16 years.
"This year we wanted readers of the Grimsby Telegraph to tell us who they think deserves a gift. Every little helps during the festive period."
