WINTER WARMERS: Donations keep on coming in

WHEN you’re wrapping your presents ready for Christmas day, spare a thought for those who cannot even wrap up warm this winter.

The Herald and Gazette would like to thank all who have donated their winter items for our Winter Warmers campaign, with hundreds of items now filling our stock cupboard almost to the brim.

But – there is always room for more donations, and the Herald and Gazette are still asking for you to donate your unwanted winter items to help keep the homeless and the elderly warm this winter.

Working in collaboration with Age UK West Sussex and Worthing Churches Homeless Projects (WCHP), collection points have been set up across the Herald and Gazette area for you to donate your items – be it a coat, hat, scarf or blanket.

Businesses and community groups can also get involved – Chichester College has recently agreed to lend a hand to the campaign by putting up posters and collecting coats to be donated at a later date.

If you want to get involved, call reporter Sarah Dale on 01903 282363.

You can donate your item at the following places:

- Worthing Herald office, Cannon House, Chatsworth Road, Worthing, BN11 1NA.
