Help poor children in Central and Eastern Europe stay warm next winter by donating unwanted clothes to the Operation Orphan 'Keep a Child Warm' appeal at Trent College in Long Eaton before Friday 3 May.
Operation Orphan is the Beeston-based charity which aims to create a brighter future for orphans and vulnerable children in our world. The 'Keep a Child Warm' appeal focuses on collecting and then distributing new and second-hand WARM winter clothing directly to impoverished children at risk of dying of hypothermia each October in time for winter.
Trent College is delighted to be able to provide a collection point for warm clothes donations. Any members of the local community can drop off donations at the school's Haughton Lodge reception during office hours between Monday 29 April and Friday 3 May.
Much of Central and Eastern Europe remains below freezing throughout the winter and, shockingly, many children freeze to death, even in their own homes, each year.
Please raid your wardrobes and cupboards to ensure the school can provide a collection that will really make a difference to the children in the region.
All of Operation Orphan's UK administrative costs are underwritten, which means that 100% of all the donations they receive are used to fund these projects.
Mrs Gill Dixon, Head of Trent College, said: "By providing a collection point, we are providing a very simple but very effective way to directly help in time for next winter. You may have a coat or sweater that has sat at the back of your wardrobe for years, or boots or trousers that no longer fit, but to the children those items could be the difference between life and death."
Operation Orphan was set up in 2003 by a Nottingham couple, Brad and Cyrilyn Moore. Through their hard work and the goodwill of friends and local companies, the charity is growing and has a number of projects in progress to address issues such as extreme poverty, harsh winter conditions, HIV/AIDS, urban slums, human trafficking and inadequate access to health care, education, clean water and safe sanitation.
If you know any other organisation that would like to be involved in collecting items for the charity please contact Operation Orphan on KACW@operation-orphan.org
Trent College is located on Derby Road in Long Eaton (postcode NG10 4AD). For more information about Operation Orphan visit www.operation-orphan.org
