Thank you to everyone who donated a winter coat to our first annual collection for the homeless and people in need of a little help at the moment.

We collected 365 coats and a number of jumpers, hats, gloves and scarves.

These have been delivered to the relevant local centres where they are being distributed within out local community.

A huge thanks also to the Echo for advertising the collection and of course to the four collection points in Weymouth; Morrisons, Goulds Garden Centre, Redlands Sports Hub and the Pavilion.

Without these the collection would not have been anywhere near successful.

Thanks to your wonderful generosity, many folks will be a little warmer this winter.
