Raincoats For Kids

Low decile schools report high rates of absence in winter as many children simply do not own a raincoat. Each year, in partnership with Warehouse Stationery, we provide over 10,000 free adidas raincoats to children from low income families, ensuring they arrive at school warm, dry and in a better position to learn. So far 24,000 children in 97 low decile schools around the country have received coats.

The aim of the 'Raincoats For Kids' programme is to...

• To provide raincoats to financially disadvantaged children to keep them warm and dry in winter.
• To help reduce ill health in financially disadvantaged children associated with exposure to cold and / or wet weather.
• To ensure children arrive at school warm and dry so they are in a better position to learn.
• To increase levels of self esteem by encouraging equality and pride.
