Sixteen homeless people in Preston got a little gift bag this Christmas from a kind-hearted teenager.

Amy Moloney took to the streets of the city to give to those who face spending the festive season alone.

Video footage shows the angelic Amy making her way through Fishergate and surrounding streets giving out the parcels.

Looks of confusion, delight and surprise are given by rough sleepers as they receive the packages.

“A huge thank you to everyone who donated and helped me out.”
