I coordinate donations at Union Women's Shelter 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 4-12. If you're in Newcastle, we can arrange a pick-up or you can drop things at Union Women's Shelter on Thursday between 11am and 3pm.
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 Union Women's Shelter clothing bank, which is open to everyone.
Even a small gift gets used right away and I'll thank you myself.

best of luck, Rowan. A secure home matters so much. Hope you're settled soon. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.

Wishing you peace, Rowan. It takes guts to ask. Well done. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. Greetings from Irapuato.
