I coordinate donations at the Jacaranda Family Centre in Belfast. 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 2 to 14 years. If you're in Belfast, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at the Jacaranda Family Centre on Wednesday 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 the Jacaranda Family Centre clothing bank, which is open to everyone. Thank you for reading my story.

  • Sending strength, Elena. I hope your landlord gives you a bit more time while this comes together.

    • Have you tried the local student union? They sometimes help with part of this.
