Winter Coat Amnesty: Where Can You Drop Off Donations?

Donations can be dropped off between the Monday 3rd November and Friday 12th December at most of the drop off points listed below, but some may finish earlier so please check with the drop off point prior to making your donation for example The Co-operative Stores will be taking donations until 5th December.

Please note Co-operative Stores will only start accepting donations from the 17th November.

We are asking for all donations to be dropped off as early as possible but at the latest by the 12th December as this will give us enough time to sort the donations prior to Christmas Day.

In the past this has been a monumental task that we haven't left ourselves enough time to do so this year Crisis are looking for volunteers to get involved sorting the clothing throughout December. If you have a few hours to spare and want to get involved please contact Adrian Conway the Christmas Co-ordinator at Crisis on adrian.conway@crisis.org.uk

The drop off points are listed below and where possible I have supplied links to their websites so you may check opening hours etc.
