Got an old winter coat that you no longer wear? ZeroWasteLeeds and LeedsCC_News can make sure it gets to someone who needs it
have launched the Winter Coat Appeal, to ensure good quality winter coats are available to everyone in the city.
The appeal, launched this week, aims to collect and distribute 2,000 coats to help people stay warm and reduce waste by encouraging people to share the coats they no longer use rather than throwing them away. So far, 18 local businesses have signed up to collect coats for the appeal and there are 10 places across the city where the public can donate coats until the appeal ends on November 13.
Councillor Mary Harland, executive member for communities, said: “The coat appeal will help ensure that the most vulnerable people in Leeds will be able to stay warm and I would encourage everyone to check their cupboards and wardrobes for unused coats, scarfs or hats that can be donated.”
