A campaign which helps vulnerable people stay warm has launched again for the third year running.
Wrap Up Bury is asking people to donate warm winter coats and accessories to be distributed across the community to people and families in need, including those escaping abuse, food bank users, refugees and elderly people.
Led by the Tottington and Bury West Rotary Club, collections started on Monday, October 21 and will run until Sunday, November 3.

Pat Dainter, a volunteer at the club, said: “We identified that there is a local need for this type of service and we had lots of positive feedback last year.
“We work closely with other charities in the area to make sure people who need warm winter coats can access them.”
Wrap Up is a national campaign supporting people across the UK and there are five donation points across Bury.
