Give Us Your Unwanted Winter Coats

Coats collected during a previous year's drive
November 13, 2023
For the tenth year in a row, estate agent Chestertons has teamed up with charity Calling London for its Winter Coat Campaign, which runs until next Monday, November 20.
This annual appeal aims to keep London’s homeless and most vulnerable warm throughout the winter, and all the agent's branches have become donation points where members of the public to drop off warm winter coats they no longer want.
They include Chestertons' three Fulham branches, In Fulham, Munster and New Kings Road, where donations can be made daily between 9am and 6pm.
Since partnering with Calling London in 2013, Chestertons says it has collected more coats every year, starting with 200 in our first year and growing to an incredible 4000 in 2022 and adds: " This winter we are hoping to collect even more coats as the demand is so much higher, with many more families facing financial difficulties."
Established in 2010 by Frances Manthos, Calling London collects winter coats and jackets and then distributes them to over 30 charitable organisations - helping the homeless, victims of domestic abuse, those living in poverty, the elderly, refugees and children.
