People in Leeds can help support EYH and spread a little festive cheer by buying a set of the charity’s Christmas tree decorations for £1 per design, from the branch, on Briggate.
James Paynter, manager of the Leeds branch of YBS, said: “We want to give homeless young people the best gift of all - a home.
“Through our partnership with EYH we are providing help for young people in need, but this is only possible thanks to the support we receive from customers and the public in Leeds.
