A charity organisation is once again running their coat exchange initiative to try to remove the stigma from struggling families that find themselves in often unseen poverty.
The Leith Collective, who are based at Ocean Terminal, Fort Kinnaird and the St Enoch Centre in Glasgow, will be running a coat exchange service at their aforementioned sites. The scheme kicked off three years ago and each year it has grown in popularity.
Last year the exchange supplied over 500 coats to families and individuals who found they were without a coat or had outgrown their previous clothing. But this year, with the cost of living crisis destroying household incomes, the Collective believe they may end up ticking over the 700 mark.
