A BUSINESSWOMAN is giving up her own Christmas Day to provide free meals for those in need - for the second year running.

Sara Headley has already got between 20 and 30 booked in to come on Christmas Day and is offering breakfast, lunch and dinner.

She is opening her shop, Sara's Flowers and Teas on Pitt Street, Barnsley, from 8am to 8pm and staff and volunteers are helping her.

Sara is asking businesses for sponsorship so she can print vouchers of between £1.50 and £9.95 to be used for food and drink. The vouchers will be distributed among some of the neediest groups in Barnsley to be redeemed in the shop.
