A COLCHESTER coat exchange has made headlines across the Atlantic.
The story of Colcestrians Fay Sibley, Jo Bailey and Chris Dilley setting up the scheme on a coat rack outside Colchester Library in Trinity Square is now featuring on ABC News in the USA.
It works on the basis people in need pick up a coat and others leave ones they no longer need.
Fay said: “People have been incredible. It’s not only coats they have donated but clothes horses and racks to put them on.”
