Tesco is stepping in to help families struggling by donating almost 4,000 brand new F&F coats to people in need.
The supermarket is giving around 2,000 coats to the Salvation Army and 1,000 to the food charity FareShare, which will distribute the warm clothing to its network of charities and community groups across the UK.
Another 1,000 will go to The Cottage Family Centre children’s charity in Kirkcaldy, Scotland who provide a range of support to families and individuals.
Tesco is also making a financial donation to each charity to help with the costs of distributing the coats to local communities.
The F&F clothing includes warm pram suits for babies, zipped jackets and padded coats for all ages, from toddlers to teenagers, and will be in various styles and colours.
The lorry load of warm clothing arrived on Monday 20th February at the Salvation Army depot in Wollaston, Northants, where it will begin its onward journey across the UK.
