Wrap your arms around the children of West Lothian this winter and help provide the warmth they need to succeed in school! A warm jackets allow children to concentrate on their education without the distraction of cold, damp clothes. For these kids, it’s a chance to focus, learn, and thrive. You have the power to make that difference in their lives.
In the next 3 months, we anticipate over 300 requests for winter jackets for children, aged 5 to 17, who desperately need them. With the cost-of-living crisis impacting many, here’s how you can help:
(1) Become a sponsor: Purchase a brand-new jacket for a specific child. Once registered, we’ll contact you when a referral comes in and then it’s up to you to buy the jacket and get it to us. Sign up here: https://bit.ly/3BrdccI
(2) Buy a jacket: If sponsorship isn’t for you, simply buy a warm jacket (4-17 years old) and donate it. These jackets will be issued as referrals come in.
(3) Make a monetary donation: If time is short, donate online, and we’ll buy a winter jacket on your behalf. We estimate each jacket costs around £25, but every single contribution, no matter the size, is appreciated. Donate here: https://rb.gy/mfj4tc
(4) Donate winter essentials: Along with jackets, we frequently receive requests for brand-new cosy socks, tights, hoodies, gloves, and hats. 
(5) Donate gently used jackets or wellies: If your child has outgrown their winter gear, we can re-use it.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for any support you can give. Your kindness will change lives. Every single jacket, every donation, every gesture of support is a lifeline to a child. Together, we can make sure no child has to face the winter cold alone.
