I coordinate donations at Maple Refugee Centre in Newcastle. Every year around this time we hear from families who have nothing warm for their children, and this year demand has more than doubled.
We're collecting clean, gently used or new coats, boots, hats, gloves and scarves in sizes kids' 3 to 5 and women's S-L. If you're in Newcastle, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Maple Refugee Centre on Sunday between 11am and 2pm.
If you're elsewhere, you may offer to sponsor a coat through a local shop - message in the comments and we can coordinate.
Items go to families directly and the rest to the Maple Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Thinking of you. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry. Thinking of Newcastle
Stay strong. Hope this works out for you. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Blessings.
so sorry you're going through this, Joseph. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Greetings from Berlin.
Sending strength, Joseph. I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. I went through something like this 4 years ago and strangers helped me out. All the best.

Thinking of you, Joseph. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money. Love from Addis Ababa.
