Village Hotel launches winter coat drive to help Glasgow's homeless

A Glasgow hotel has launched a winter coat drive to help the city's homeless.

The Village Hotel Club  is asking its staff, guests, the local community and businesses to donate any unwanted winter coats to those less fortunate.

The hotel group has set itself a target of collecting 1000 coats across the UK throughout October and November, ready to donate to the homeless for the coldest months.

Those wishing to donate simply need to drop their unwanted coat at their nearest Village Hotel Club. The hotel in Glasgow is based in Festival Gate, near the Pacific Quay in Govan.

 Every coat collected will be distributed to the homeless via seven key homeless charities across England, Scotland and Wales.

The coat drive forms part of Village Hotel Club’s wider Village Green initiative, which will see the hotel group commit more than 30,000 hours each year to volunteering in the local communities of its 30 hotels.
