Christmas has come early, thanks to Sunderland Lions Club.
Each year, the group's Christmas Wish campaign offers grants of £100 to community groups, churches and other organisations across the city to hold celebrations of the festive season.
The Lions use cash raised from their year-round fund raising activities, including the Seaburn Boxing Day Dip, to support the campaign.
And now applications for this year's scheme are open.
