I coordinate donations at the Lotus Community Church in Cardiff. 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 Cardiff, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Lotus Community Church on Thursday between 10am 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 the Lotus Community Church clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Glad we found this place.
