Dinner Meeting at the Heronston Hotel

Malcolm, a member of Rotary Accrington, along with three other Rotarians, started the “Lancashire Wrap Up Project” in 2018 after discovering and being inspired by a charity called “Hands on London” which came into being in 2010. “Hands on London” collect coats every November from the public and various organisations at certain designated places in London and then distribute them to those in need in Greater London.

Malcolm contacted “Hands on London” and got permission to copy their model, bringing the “Lancashire Wrap Up Project” into being with the slogan “Warm a heart, give a coat”.  Malcolm highlighted the tremendous growth in the project from year 1 (2018). Finally, Malcolm outlined the benefits of the “Wrap Up Project” to local communities and to Rotary. 

After a series of questions, a vote of thanks expressing our gratitude to Malcolm and his colleagues for telling us about such a wonderful project.
