As we approach the Winter, many of us will be taking for granted basic essentials such as warm winter jackets, wellies and a nice woolly hat.

We won’t have to worry about heating or eating and we will be prepared for rain, wind, sleet or snow.

Unfortunately 1 in 4 children living in Glasgow, will be struggling to attend school and play outdoors without these necessary items to keep them warm and cosy.

Having the right clothing makes such a difference to the children we work with, it allows them to enjoy the magic of jumping in puddles and possibly play in the snow.

PEEK is proud to be working in partnership again with HubWest Scotland for the 7th year running to provide new warm winter jackets and wellies to over 1000 of our city’s most vulnerable children and young people experiencing poverty. Over the last 7 years we have been overwhelmed with the kindness and generosity of HubWest’s supply chain and the general public who have supported the Appeal and we are committed to doing all that we can to reach more children and young people this Winter.

You can support the #WinterWarmerAppeal by collecting new warm winter jackets and wellies and dropping off to PEEK’s HQ at 82 Orr Street, Bridgeton, Glasgow G40 2QF or by donating to HubWest and PEEK’s justgiving link which allows PEEK to purchase items directly. All jackets and wellies will be distributed to our families before Christmas.

Please donate generously.
