Do you live in the Derby/Derbyshire area in the UK and have a spare or surplus winter coat for children? Derby City Council is organising a collection of good quality winter coats that can be distributed to children who are affected by the cost of living crisis. To find out what exactly is needed and how to donate please read more about it here.

Other local authorities may be organising similar efforts so even if you live far from Derby you could call your local council and find out if they are collecting coats for children.

You may have a Sharewear Clothing Scheme in your area. Even if you don’t, you can contact them to find out how to start a local scheme in your area. They will be happy to help.
