Winter wardrobe events

FREE winter clothes will be available at a series of events through November across the region.

During the month Dumfries and Galloway Council will be inviting families and individuals to go along and help themselves to coats, jackets, jumpers, cardigans, jeans, hats, gloves and scarves.

There will be a huge range available in various sizes for both adults and children.

Councillor Richard Brodie said: “We know that a lot of people are struggling and these events are aimed at helping those in need. There is no qualifying criteria, so anyone who needs some warm winter clothes can come along to one of our events and get what they need to help them stay warm.”

Councillor Gail Macgregor added: “We have been overwhelmed at people’s generosity this year in donating items of clothing which has allowed us to arrange a number of events across the region to ensure free warm winter clothes are available to those who need them.

“There will also be free period products available at each event, again with no qualifying criteria.”

Sessions will be held in Sanquhar Town Hall on November 8; Newton Stewart Vibe on November 14;

These free Warm Winter Clothes Events will be held on the following dates and times: Dumfries Pop Up Shop on November 15; Annan Market Hall, November 16; The Johnston, Kirkcudbright on November 17 and Stranraer’s Ryan Centre on November 22.
