CHRISTMAS cheer will descend on the city's needy, courtesy of Rotary Club members.

The Mayor of Worcester, Councillor David Clark, is pictured surrounded by bags of food donated by members of the public.

Volunteers will be distributing the parcels to the needy during the festive season.

"Every year, the Rotary Clubs of Worcester collect tins of food and biscuits. They hired out a unit at Shrub Hill Industrial Estate and volunteers spent the day making food parcels to distribute," said Coun Clark.
