Leeds real-life Santa on mission to give vulnerable children a Christmas 'they may never have had'

A Leeds man dubbed Yorkshire's real-life Santa is hoping to raise £50,000 by selling wooden Christmas trees - so he can buy presents for vulnerable children.

Reese Fletcher, a landscape gardener from Kippax, crafts and sells wooden Christmas trees for £10. The funds raised by selling the trees are then used to buy presents for young children who live in and around Leeds.

Reese raised £10,000 through his fantastic festive fundraiser last year, but the dad wants to go even further this time around as the cost of living crisis hits families across the city hard. He has set an ambitious target of raising £50,000.
