Asda staff have been serving Christmas lunch to homeless people.

On Wednesday, Chris Stott, Jan Hall, Michelle Milling and Eileen Reay, of the supermarket chain's regional food distribution depot in Washington, served a meal to 41 people at the Lazarus Foundation's drop-in centre in Sunderland.

Yesterday, they offered another meal to centre-users.

A depot spokeswoman said staff were keen to support the charity and other good causes. She said the food had been donated by producers who supply Asda.
