Fulham Rallies for Winter Coat Drives
WrapUp London and Calling London return
Wrap Up London's collection point at Fulham Broadway Shopping Centre
November 10, 2025
As temperatures drop across the capital, Fulham residents are being urged to donate warm winter coats to help vulnerable Londoners stay warm this season. Two major coat collection campaigns—WrapUp London and Calling London—are now underway, with multiple drop-off points across SW6 and neighbouring areas.
Now in its 15th year, HandsOn London’s WrapUp London campaign is asking for gently used coats for distribution to over 90 frontline charities. These include homelessness shelters, women’s refuges, and family support centres. Last year’s effort saw more than 15,000 coats collected, and organisers hope to surpass that total in 2025.
In Fulham, donations can be made until 7 December at three key locations:
- Fulham Broadway Shopping Centre – the donation box is already filling up
- Safestore Fulham, 27 Munster Road
- Waterside Pub, Imperial Wharf
The Fulham Broadway collection hub is now in its fourth consecutive year, with organisers praising the community’s generosity. “Every single coat collected will go directly to someone struggling to stay warm this season,” said a spokesperson. “Together, we can spread warmth, kindness, and care throughout our community.”
Running alongside WrapUp London is the Calling London Winter Coat Drive, now in its 12th year. This initiative, supported by estate agency Chestertons, is accepting donations of coats and jackets for all ages—from infants to adults—until 21 November.
Local Chestertons branches accepting donations include:
- 191 Munster Road
- 654 Fulham Road
- 78 New Kings Road
Nearby branches in Putney, North Barnes, Chiswick, and Kensington are also participating. Calling London has issued a special appeal for men’s coats, which are in high demand, and hopes to break last year’s record of 10,000 coats collected.
