Fashion retailer Evans and Barnardo’s Cymru have joined together to launch a Coat Exchange to raise money for the most disadvantaged children in Wale.

Shoppers who donate a pre-loved coat to any Barnardo’s store until Saturday, December 24, will receive a £10 voucher to spend on their new season’s wardrobe at Evans, in-store or online at evans.co.uk.

Coats received by Barnardo’s will be re-sold or recycled to raise vital funds to help support vulnerable children, young people and families.

Sarah Crawley, director of Barnardo’s Cymru, said: “The Coat Exchange is a fantastic initiative and we’re excited to be working with Evans. This opportunity will not only reward those who generously support Barnardo’s, but help vulnerable children such as those at risk of sexual exploitation and living in care.”

Fiona Ross, Evans’ managing director said: “We’re delighted to be working with Barnardo’s on the ‘Share the Warmth’ campaign this winter and hope we can raise awareness and essential funds, so Barnardo’s can continue to help transform the lives of the UK’s most vulnerable children.”
