Warm coats, warm hearts

As the weather starts to turn colder and we all search out our winter clothing, now is a great time to consider donating coats that you no longer need - help us reduce waste and keep everyone warmer this winter.

Staff and students are encouraged to have a rummage in your cupboards and donate good quality coats, scarves, hats, and gloves to your local campus Students' Association Office over the coming weeks. The items will them be redistributed for free to students who need them.

What we are doing

The Students' Association are inviting students and staff to donate good quality pre-loved or new winter coats, scarves, hats, or gloves so that someone else can make use of them in the coming winter months. Unfortunately, we cannot accept other items at this time, only those specific items listed.

Why we are doing it

As part of our Sustainability work, and helping to tackle poverty, we are seeking to help students and staff reduce clothing waste by donating, rather than throwing away and allowing other students to make use of good quality items that they might not be able to afford themselves - helping the planet and your pocket.

Where & when you can donate

We are launching the campaign now, with the aim to redistribute the items around campuses starting from Sustainable Education Week on the 20th to the 24th of October.
