In September we tend to do a need assessment with the charities and the food banks we support. The demand definitely seems higher with certain organisations,” said Shah. Edward VII - Portrait of King Edward VII 1906. A tablet appears below with the inscription, “1840 by municipal corporations (Ireland) act; the constitution of the corporation was changed. George Dunbar, first Mayor." It’s for anyone who feels they need a coat, they can come and get one and this isn’t about judging. It’s really about cutting out that middleman.” We’re anticipating that there is going to be more demand. There’s the fact that there are more people who are not from the homeless community, not from refugee communities. These are people who have homes who probably have relatively low income jobs who are also in need of coats and also in need of support in one way or another.

It’s quite unprecedented.” This window is dedicated to the memory of all the individuals and their effected families whose organs and tissue were removed and retained without the knowledge or consent of relatives and families following post-mortem examinations in former times.The outline of a mountain peak and converging pathways speak of hardship shared by those who mourn; while the leaves fall silently from the tree as tears.

The ship tells of Belfast's pre-eminence as a seaport, as do the seahorses, and the bell is canting. The motto means "What return shall we make for so much?", and is a paraphrase of a verse from Psalm 116. Know ye, therefore, that I, the said Ulster King of Arms, by the power to me given by Her Majesty’s Royal Letters Patent, under the Great Seal of Ireland, and by authority of the same, have assigned and granted, and by these Presents do assign, grant and exemplify to the Mayor, Aldermen and Citizens of the City of Belfast, the Arms following, namely – Per fess argent and azure in chief a pile vair, and on a canton gules, a bell argent, in base, a ship with sails set argent on waves of the sea proper. Supporters dexter, a wolf proper ducally gorged and chained or; sinister, a sea-horse gorged with a mural crown proper. The lower segment of the window depicts the Custom House which is Belfast’s ‘Speakers’ Corner’ where ‘Big Jim’ held many public meetings.

Northern Ireland, already impacted by political and religious divisions, was deeply affected by these events and many local people took part in the Spanish aid campaign, including Belfast activists Alderman Harry Midgley, Betty Sinclair, Sam Haslett and Sadie Menzies.The main players including Take One Leave One, the WrapUp campaign, Only a Pavement Away and Care4Calais collect thousands of coats every year for people experiencing homelessness, refugees and anyone else who needs it. We will just have to put a little bit of extra effort in,” he added. “We’ve been recruiting extra volunteers for sorting, we’ve got a lot more collection spots opening right across the city. So we’re hopeful and conservatively confident that actually we will be able to meet that extra demand because that’s the reason we’re here.” The plaque underneath reads, “this window was unveiled by the Right Honourable Lord Mayor Councillor David Alderdice on 23 March 1999”.
