St Columba’s Presbyterian Church in Parkview has started its Winter Warmers project, distributing hot meals and blankets to people in need as temperatures drop.

The blanket distribution is supported by donations and forms part of a wider community effort to provide hundreds of blankets through local outreach programmes.
Organisers say the initiative focuses on meeting basic needs and supporting vulnerable residents during the cold season.
