WrapUp London Wants Your Old Coats


Collection drive pick points are available across Fulham


A huge number of coats were donated during a previous year's drive

November 9, 2026

If you have a winter coat you no longer need, now’s the time to pass it on to someone in need during the cold months ahead.

HandsOn London’s annual project WrapUp London, now in its 16th year, is up and running, with Londoners urged to donate their pre-loved, warm winter coats at collection points around the capital.

In Fulham, you can drop off coats until November 22 at three locations:  Fulham Broadway shopping centre, where the collection box, situated  by the entrance to Sainsbury's,  is already filling up; Safestore Fulham, 27 Munster Road and Imperial Wharf’s Waterside pub.

You can find a full list of drop-off points, plus opening times here.

A second Winter Coat Drive, run by Calling London is  up also up and running and asking people to donate warm winter coats and jackets for all ages, from infants to adults, until 21 November. 

This initiative, now its 13th year, is run in partnership with estate agency Chestertons. Coats and jackets can be dropped off at any branch of Chestertons between 9am and 6pm. In our area these include 191 Munster Road, 654 Fulham Road and 78 New Kings Road, plus nearby branches in Putney, North Barnes, Chiswick and Kensington.

Calling London says it needs warm coats and winter jackets of all sizes,  including children's, with a special shout-out for men's coats as they are hugely in demand.

Find out more about this annual drive, which works with foodbanks and charities of all sizes serving women and young children in shelters, young adults, the homeless, the elderly, and refugees here.
