The Jacket Off Your Back charity has announced that it’s no longer taking donations.

Kevin Kelly says it became a hugh financial drain personally and was affecting his business.

In a post on facebook, he says the straw that broke the camels back, was recent comments questioning how they afford all of the trips abroad and also recent bags of filthy donations.

He says the directors of the charity will have to meet to discuss whether they will wind up the charity as it is not a decison he or Sue can take alone.

Kevin says it wasn’t an easy decision to make after putting so much into the cause.
