Two volunteers have been invited to a Christmas carol service at Westminster Abbey by the Princess of Wales.
Angie Comerford, 46, and Alison Wilson, 40, are full-time volunteers for Hebburn Helps. The foodbank and crisis response team, based in Hebburn, South Tyneside, supports local families in the community who are less fortunate.
Earlier this week, the pair both received a letter from Buckingham Palace inviting them to the Christmas Carol Service at Westminster Abbey in London. The event, which will be attended by the Royal Family, will take place at 5pm on Thursday, December 15.
