This winter, Buchanan Galleries and PEEK (Possibilities for Each and Every Kid) are joining forces to launch its Winter Warmer Appeal, a community-driven initiative to support local children and families in need as temperatures drop this winter.

For many children, winter means staying indoors due to a lack of essential warm clothing, such as jackets and wellington boots. The appeal encourages shoppers to donate these items to support local families facing financial challenges, helping kids stay active and enjoy outdoor play, while staying warm and dry throughout the colder months.

The donation stations are located at Buchanan Galleries’ main atrium, outside John Lewis & Partners, for visitors to drop off new coats and wellies. The donation bins will be available during mall hours until Sunday 8^th December.

PEEK will oversee the collection and distribution of the donated items, ensuring they reach children, young people and families in Glasgow.

PEEK is a Glasgow-based charity whose vision is to support families impacted by poverty and help them to improve their health, wellbeing and life chances. Each year, the charity asks the public to support their Winter Warmer appeal by donating coats, wellies or cash. This appeal enables PEEK to distribute the right clothing to children who need it the most, so that they can enjoy the magic of jumping in puddles and playing in snow, or simply make it to school and back.

Buchanan Galleries is open from 9am – 6pm Monday to Saturday, and 10am – 6pm Sundays. For more information, please visit https://buchanangalleries.co.uk/
