Swansea City AFC Foundation’s Give a Jack a Jacket collection returns from 10 October to 7 December, with supporters invited to donate unwanted coats and jackets for local charities. Donations will be accepted at two points inside the Swansea.com Stadium: main reception and the club shop. The shop’s collection point will also be available to supporters attending home matches during the campaign.

What the previous collection provided
The foundation says supporters donated more than 250 items of warm clothing last season, which were distributed to 10 charities in Swansea and the surrounding area. Those are last season’s figures, not a target or a running total for this winter. Previous collections have helped organisations supporting people experiencing homelessness and others facing difficult circumstances.
Check the collection window
The club has not specified daily drop-off hours in the announcement. Check with reception or the club shop before making a special journey, and keep donations within the 10 October to 7 December collection window.
Background and supporting figures
Where this sits
More than 250 items went to 10 charities last season; these are previous campaign results, not this winter’s total.
The two donation points are at the same stadium; the club-shop point will also accept matchday donations during the stated campaign window.
