Wrap Up London is our winter campaign to collect warm coats for the cities most vulnerable. The campaign attracts over a 1,000 volunteers, each giving as little as 2 hours of their time to make this happen. Last year we collected 27,000 warm coats for over 100 community projects.
Situation
We work with homeless shelters, women's centres, and community centres supporting vulnerable people in London. Many people are willing to donate a single item of clothing, like a coat (!), but have little time or idea of how to do so. And our charity partners have little time or resources to source winter coats for their service users. Wrap Up London brings the two together. We collect the coats, sort them and distribute to over 100 community groups across London.
Solution
Vulnerable Londoners are provided with good quality winter coats at centres across London. Our project facilitates the redistribution of coats from source to point of need. We provide easy opportunities for busy Londoners to donate coats over the course of a month. We then reach out to charities across London and provide them with the number of coats they need for their service users so everyone can keep warm during the winter.
