November Warm Clothing Appeal
Yorkshire Children’s Charity Warm, Dry & Ready to Learn Campaign
Throughout November, we committed to support our chosen Charity’s (Yorkshire Children’s Charity) winter Campaign – Warm, Dry & Ready to Learn.
For every bag of logs sold throughout November, we would donate towards the cost of warm clothing to a child in Yorkshire living in destitution.
Yorkshire Children’s Charity are supporting 2,373 children in phase one of their ‘Warm, Dry & Ready to Learn’ campaign – a vital initiative that provides essential winter items (from coats and shoes to bedding and toiletries), to children living in destitution across Yorkshire.
98% of the 2,373 supported children don’t have a winter coat
As a family run business, with children of our own, we felt passionately about supporting vulnerable children in our region. We stand firmly with the charity’s belief that if we can meet the immediate needs of these children, we are also giving them the gift of being able to focus on their future and not just trying to survive in the present.
93% of the 2,373 supported children don’t have appropriate shoes to keep their feet warm and dry
Last year, 80% of the schools supported by the charity’s campaign reported an increase in attendance. One teacher said that the impact of the support is “difficult to put into words” and that “the positive knock-on effect seems to be endless”.
