Temperatures have plunged across the country with just weeks to go before Christmas. The cold snap comes after surging food, energy and fuel costs have left households feeling the squeeze this year.
The soaring cost of living is leaving many families facing tough decisions with a harsh winter to come. But Bolton's boxing hero Amir Khan says he is determined to make a difference to help those who are struggling this festive season.
After watching an item discussing the issue on this morning's (December 7) BBC Breakfast , the 35-year-old confirmed on Twitter that he would like to support people looking to keep warm and eat well this winter. He announced his goal of opening a warm bank and food bank in his hometown, and called on the Amir Khan Foundation to work with Bolton Lads and Girls' Club to make it a reality.
