Rutland Clothing Bank have released an urgent appeal for coats as the closer weather closes in.

Rutlanders Helen Wolstenholme and Mandy Black set up Rutland Clothing Bank just over two years ago, and it has jumped from strength to strength, earning a reputation for helping source school uniform, winter jackets, shoes, and much more to those in need in the local area. The team have also worked hard providing clothes for Ukrainian refugees over the past year.

Now, the team are looking to source men's women's and children's coats in wearable condition. Coats can be of all sizes and styles.
