A LOCAL Rotary club needs your help to support Tameside families to keep warm this winter as the cold weather begins to set in.
Dukinfield and Stalybridge Rotary Club has launched its Wrap Up Tameside campaign, as part of the wider Wrap Up UK initiative.
They are collecting winter coats and fleeces, as well as scarves, winter hats and gloves, so charities can distribute them to those struggling to stay warm in the challenging months of winter.
All of the items donated locally will be given to Tameside Women’s Centre and local homeless projects.
Anyone can drop off donations at collection boxes located in:
The Together Centre, Birch Lane, Dukinfield
St George’s Church, Church Walk, Stalybridge
Reach Church, Huddersfield Road, Stalybridge
Stalybridge Junior Football Club, Mossley Road, Ashton-under-Lyne
Stalyhill Junior School, Hereford Way, Stalybridge
Mossley Sub Post Office, Manchester Road, Mossley
Club President Martin Daglish said: “This is another example of Dukinfield and Stalybridge Rotary Club engaging with the local community whilst making a positive impact on the lives of people in our neighbourhoods.
“As residents struggle with the cost of living crisis, we are very keen to offer support to local families struggling to keep warm in their homes.
“Last year, the club dropped off over 200 winter coats at the Tameside Women’s Centre and provided a further 150 coats for local homeless projects from the Wrap Up Tameside campaign. These were distributed to individuals and families who were in desperate need of a winter coat.”
