Ellie Goulding to spend Christmas Eve working in homeless shelter

Ellie Goulding will spend Christmas Eve this year helping homeless people.

The singer teamed up with charity Streets of London to host a benefit gig on Tuesday (December 16) in London.

Speaking before the concert, Goulding said that she will spend December 24 at a homeless shelter.

The Brit said: "I'm volunteering all day at a shelter. I've done it for a few years. It's fun and part of the reason I run my gigs.

"It's not just people who are homeless in the shelters but also those who are lonely and don't have someone to spend time with. I was chatting to a guy last year who was a musician from Africa who had found himself homeless. The thought of someone not having a Christmas..."
