CAN you help us spread a bit of festive cheer this Christmas?

The Grimsby Telegraph has teamed up with the Artie White Foundation to donate 12 Christmas gifts to worthy causes in our area.

The charity will be giving away six food hampers and six £100 toy vouchers – and it wants your help to find the most deserving recipients.

As part of our 12 Days Of Christmas campaign we want to put a smile on the faces of some of the most underprivileged people in our community.

Whether it is an elderly pensioner who lives alone or a family with young children who are struggling to buy presents, you can help make their Christmas a brighter one this year.

You can nominate an individual or family to receive either a Christmas food hamper or £100 voucher.

You can nominate now by filling in the form below.

The nominations will be considered by the Artie White Foundation committee, who will pick the 12 most deserving, and each handover will be reported in the Grimsby Telegraph.

The Artie White Foundation was established in memory of the popular football player and manager, who died from a heart attack in 1996.

Since its formation in 1997, it has raised more than £450,000 for various good causes.

Dawn White, a committee member of the Artie White Foundation and one of Artie's daughters, said: "We would like to use the money that we have raised locally to help people who are less fortunate at Christmas time.

"We have been supporting local causes for 16 years now and understand that times are tough.

"Instead of looking forward to Christmas, many people will be worrying about how they will get through. Some maybe facing a Christmas on their own.

"I know this is something my dad would have loved. Since his death we have heard stories about him dropping off carrier bags of food at Christmas time to some of his friends who were struggling to ensure that their families had a great Christmas just like ours did. I like to think that with the 12 days of Christmas campaign we are following in his footsteps."
