Fresh offer meals such as skinny parmo, skinny lasagne, Thai green curry and its popular peri peri halloumi and giant cous cous.

Meals have been prepared by Matt Charnley and his team at The Blue Bells restaurant at Newton Bewley with the help of Brookers Wholesalers of Stockton.

Matt Jordinson, who is also a personal trainer, said: “I had the idea literally a couple of days ago and had a vision for helping people who need it most at Christmas.

“I made a few calls, put a shout out over social media and was blown away with the help and support of people locally in the area wanting to help out.
