Local singer-songwriter Jake Newby, who featured in this newspaper earlier this month, has raised more than £150 through sale of his festive song, ‘Christmas Angel’, with the proceeds being divided between the food bank here in Louth, and other food banks in places such as Lincoln and Grimsby.

You can download the song and make a donation at www. jakenewbymusic.bandcamp.com/track/christmas-angel.

• Food donations can be dropped off on weekday mornings from 9am-10am in the shopping trolley outside the Trinity Centre.
