RESTAURANTS in the region have signed up to a Journal-backed campaign to help homeless people. Starting today and lasting two months, StreetSmart asks restaurant diners to add a pound to their bill and the money goes directly to charity.

Last year, 40 restaurants signed up for the appeal which raised around pounds 10,000.

Among the eateries which have agreed to participate this year are Cafe 21 on Newcastle's Quayside, Oldfield's in Durham and the Living Room on Grey Street in Newcastle.

Polly Sutherland, campaign manager for Street- Smart in the North East, said: "It's been a really positive thing and at Christmas it's something that people can get into the spirit of.

"The people of the North East are really generous and it makes a difference to the charities involved.
