West Northamptonshire Council has set up coat racks across the county to make a difference to someone in need.

What’s it all about?

Get support

If you or anyone you know is struggling to keep warm this winter help yourself to a coat.

Donate

If you have a spare coat that you no longer need or use please hang it on a coat rack at reception in a drop off site. Please ensure your coats are clean, in good condition and suitable for adults and children.

Drop off points

  • One Angel Square, Angel Street, Northampton, NN1 1ED

  • The Forum, Moat Lane, Towcester, NN12 6AD

  • Abbey Centre, St John's Square, Daventry, NN11 4XG

Remember

Every donation will help to keep someone warm this winter.

Cllr Andrew Last, Cabinet Member for Corporate Service, HR and Regulatory Services, said:

“This is a small but powerful way our communities can support one another. “For many of us, an old coat hanging in the wardrobe might not mean much, but for someone facing a tough winter, it can make all the difference. It’s these everyday acts of kindness that show the real strength and warmth of our community.”
