A number of taxi drivers in Belfast have donated their Christmas tips to help a local charity through the cost of living crisis
.
Now based at 1 Antrim Road, The People's Kitchen doesn't just help the city's homeless, but those who are living in poverty, with these numbers growing due to the cost of living crisis.Speaking to Belfast Live, Jim said he was inspired to start up the appeal after seeing the impact of homelessness. He said: "I work early mornings and tend to sit around Dublin Road and Botanic Avenue, where a lot of homeless people would be living.
"We got printed signs saying we were giving 50% of the tips gained in the month of December to The People's Kitchen, but I then increased that to 75%. I found I was getting more tips than normal. Stopping by The People's Kitchen's hub on the Antrim Road, Jim and driver Oliver were able to see the work done there first-hand and were able to hand over their donation in person.
