Staff at a cafe in Bradford have been saving their tips for the homeless.

The waitresses of Bowling Cafe on Maw Street have used their extra cash to deliver meals to Hope Housing's shelter on Barkerend Road.

So far they’ve completed three meal runs which they prepare at the café before taking them to the shelter. The last meal was a selection of Asian starters and a curry.

Cafe owner, Janet Murphy, said: "We really appreciate all our customers' support and wanted to let them know their generosity is going towards helping others who are hungry and in need of a good meal."
