We are asking for seasonal treats such as mince pies, chocolates and Christmas puddings, as well as basics including canned goods, long-life milk, fruit juice, pasta and rice.

Will, who is known for his work with the Antiques Roadshow, gave the appeal his backing at a recent charity auction event in Wolverhampton.

He said: "I think this is a great idea and I would urge Express & Star readers to dig deep and find a way to offer a helping hand this Christmas.

"It doesn't take much to make a big difference and any small donations will go a long way.

"No family should have to be facing a Christmas without food and the more donations people make, the less likely that is to happen."
