Winter coats and boots for 18 children at Cedar Refugee Centre in Birmingham

I coordinate donations at Cedar Refugee Centre in Birmingham. 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 toddler through teen. If you're in Birmingham, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Cedar Refugee Centre on Monday between 9am and 4pm. 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 Cedar Refugee Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Thank you for reading my story.
