|February 25, 2026

The campaign collects unwanted warm winter coats for charities and organisations in Llanelli.
"The response over the winter has been astonishing," Llanelli Rotary President Julie Jones said.
"Everyone who has helped in Llanelli and the surrounding area should be basking in a warm glow this week as they have provided practical support for those who need it in our community.
"We collected an amazing 1,541 winter coats and since the campaign launched four years ago we have collected and helped distribute more than 4,000 coats.
"The coats have gone to deserving charities and organisations, including Food Banks, Threshold (domestic abuse support), CYCA (Carmarthenshire Youth and Children's Association), local churches and other charitable organisations.
