Young people from the Muslim community are revving up their campaign to combat loneliness over the festive period.

The Ahmadiyya Muslim Youth Association (AMYA) works throughout the year to help vulnerable and isolated people.

During the festive period last year, the organisation - which has 8,000 members across the UK - fed more than 1,600 people, donated 336kg of food and donated over 100kg of clothes, and this year they want to top these figures.

Projects across the country will see members visiting care homes and hospices, feeding the homeless and writing Christmas cards to hundreds of people.
