POLICE have 50 Christmas food hampers to distribute to the more vulnerable members of society.

Officers in the Salford West neighbourhood team appealed for nominations via their Facebook page GMP Swinton and Little Hulton.

They asked anyone who knew a potential beneficiary to send them a private Facebook message with the person’s name, address, their circumstances and why you feel they should receive a hamper.

Last year some of the hampers went to victims of the Boxing Day floods and officers suggested nominees could include families still suffering the effects of the 2015 disaster.
