Keeping families warm

29th October 2026 | Deputy Lieutenant Patrons

Mary Zoeller DL and Nicola Dawes DL recently joined forces on a great initiative between Girlguiding Epsom Division and Stripey Stork.

At this time of year, passing on coats that have been outgrown is the perfect way to give them a second life. A brilliant and effective way to make a real difference to local families who are struggling. Earlier this week, Mary delivered 140 coats to Stripey Stork, the results of a coat collection across 11 Girlguiding Epsom units.

Thank you to everyone who got involved in this project!
