Make sure no one goes cold this winter by donating a coat to someone in need outside a Norwich live music venue.

Coats on the Railings will take place this Saturday, December 17 and from 10am until 5pm people can hang a men's coat outside Norwich Arts Centre in St Benedicts Street.

The venue has teamed up with Norwich City of Sanctuary for the appeal, which is part of a national movement supporting refugees and asylum-seekers.

They are looking for men's coats only and are hoping that at least 100 will be donated. 

These coats will then be collected by the Norwich City of Sanctuary team and distributed where needed.

Claire from Norwich City of Sanctuary said: "The cost of living crisis, coupled with the cold weather this winter, means the most vulnerable in Norwich are in real need of warm coats.

"This appeal is for men's winter coats only, so please dig out any you’re happy to donate."
