Since 2018 Rotary clubs in East Lancashire have been bringing winter warmth and comfort to people in crisis in our communities.

In 2020 a partnership agreement was signed by Rotary Great Britain & Ireland and Hands on London to expand the action nationally.

Our aim is to collect coats which will keep recipients warm and dry in the long winter months.

We will work closely with local charities who are best placed to get the coats to those most in need. Local need will be met first and then those in need elsewhere in the county.

Victims of domestic violence, the homeless, families in crisis and many others need our help.

In order to achieve this, we need your help to collect clean warm coats, suitable for male & female adults, young adults and children. Please make sure there are no holes or tears in them and that the zips and buttons are intact.

These coats can be dropped off at one of the collection points listed on our website.

Our last collection led to 2,300 items being shared with the help of 18 charities in East Lancashire.

The need is there . . . Help us to help East Lancashire Wrap Up this winter.
