A radio station's annual Christmas Appeal has returned for the third year in a row after raising more than £5,000 for a local charity over the years.
St Neots-based station, Black Cat Radio, first launched their Christmas Appeal in 2024 after presenter, Dave Thomas, thought of the idea.
The team decided to support The Three Pillars - Feeding the Homeless, a charity founded by Mick Pescod and Ged Dempsey.
Together, along with their volunteers, the charity supports people in need across Cambridgeshire and beyond.

To support The Three Pillars charity, the Black Cat Radio team decided to ask local businesses to send a festive message into the station to be played on air for a £25 donation for the charity in return.
Radio listeners have also sent their own donations in.
"In the first year we raised just under £2,300", said Dave Thomas.
"Last year we managed to raise more than £3,300.
"We've set ourselves an ambitious target for 2025, but truthfully, every pound counts towards the work that The Three Pillars charity does in the community."
Ged Dempsey, charity co-founder, told Black Cat Radio listeners that every week, more than 200 food parcels are delivered across St Neots alone.
The money raised by Black Cat Radio will go towards making sure that nobody spends this Christmas without.

So far, Black Cat Radio have raised more than £1,000 for the charity and are trying to reach their target of £3,500.
