TCS Staff Help Keep Leeds Warm with Winter Coat Appeal Donations
Town Centre Securities PLC (TCS) has once again demonstrated its commitment to supporting the Leeds community, with colleagues donating over 50 coats to this year’s Leeds Winter Coat Appeal.
Supporting local communities and helping those in need across Leeds
Organised by local charity Wear and Share Leeds, the appeal collects good-quality, pre-loved winter coats and redistributes them free of charge to individuals and families who need them most, helping to ease financial pressures while reducing textile waste.
The support follows the hugely successful Leeds School Uniform Exchange, hosted at the Merrion Centre during summer 2026. Across 15 days, the initiative supported 961 children from 525 families, redistributing 5,618 items of uniform and generating an estimated £93,034 in savings for local households, while preventing more than 1.1 tonnes of textile waste.
Charlotte-Daisy Leeming, Head of ESG at Town Centre Securities, commented:
“We’re incredibly proud of our colleagues for getting behind this year’s Winter Coat Appeal. Something as simple as donating a coat can make a real difference to someone facing the colder months.
“Following the fantastic success of the Leeds School Uniform Exchange this summer, it’s wonderful to continue supporting Wear and Share Leeds and the important work they do for our local communities.”
Tracy Morgan, Co-Manager at Wear and Share Leeds, added:
“We’re so grateful to the team at TCS for their generous donations. Support from local businesses makes a huge difference in helping us reach people who need warm clothing this winter.
“After the brilliant response to our School Uniform Exchange at the Merrion Centre, it’s fantastic to see this partnership continue, helping both local families and the environment.”
The initiative reflects TCS’s ongoing commitment to supporting local communities and delivering positive social and environmental impact across Leeds.
Donations to the Leeds Winter Coat Appeal are being accepted until 29 January 2027. Anyone wishing to support the initiative can find further information, including details of donation drop-off locations, by visiting wearandshareleeds.org.uk.
