A FINAL Winter Warmer and Pick a Coat Day is set to take place.
The event will be held on Wednesday, November 18, from 10am to 2pm at St Marie's in Widnes, offering free winter coats for everyone.
This initiative, a part of the Pick a Coat initiative, aims to keep the local community warm and connected to various support services across Halton.
Residents will have the opportunity to choose from a selection of free winter coats and directly engage with organisations providing practical help and guidance.
The event will see participation from various local partners, including Halton Family Hubs, British Red Cross, Halton Housing, the Volunteer Centre Halton & St Helens, Community Shop Halton, Halton Borough Council's Stronger for Longer programme, Citizens Advice Halton, and Warrington Disability Partnership.
Visitors can learn more about the British Red Cross's Halton Support at Home offer, enjoy free homemade soup provided by Community Shop Halton, and gain insights into the Stronger for Longer programme for adults aged 55 and over.
Specialist services will also be available to offer advice and support.
The event is open to everyone, providing a welcoming opportunity to pick up a winter coat, connect with local organisations, and discover the support available within the community.
As preparations continue for the final Pick a Coat Day of the year, there is an urgent appeal for coat donations.
Children's coats, small men's coats, and small women's coats are particularly needed.
Anyone wishing to donate is encouraged to do so before the final collection deadline on Monday, November 16.
The Winter Warmer and Pick a Coat Day will take place at St Marie's, Lugsdale Road, Widnes, WA8 6DB.
Residents are encouraged to attend, pick a coat, and learn more about the support available in their local community.
