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

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;
