The winter coats campaign in Redditch has been extended after an influx of donations from the community. 

Oakland International and Attwell Farm Park have teamed up to support Hope4's Winter Coats Campaign to help deliver warm clothes to children and vulnerable people living in Ukraine and Moldova as temperatures drop over winter. 

Lorry loads of clothing have already made their way to the countries, but following the overwhelming support from residents, the campaign will now finish on Wednesday, January 17.

Hope4 trustee, Laura Croudace, said: "As a parent, it has been overwhelming to see people supporting the work of Hope4 to ensure children and vulnerable people in Moldova, and Ukrainian refugees, are kept warm this winter. 

"No parent ever wants to see their child suffering and cold, and the team at Hope 4 are doing everything possible to keep children warm. 

"It has been amazing to partner with Attwell Farm Park and Oakland International to collaborate with communities sending n coats and warm clothes and seeing people drop off items at the farm. Thank you to everyone who donated coats."

Oakland International is providing the transport to its partner depot in Chisinau, Moldova where all donations will be distributed this winter. 

The business also has collection points around the UK with all donations guaranteed to reach those in need.
