POSTCARDS FROM WRAP LONDON
Sharing Warmth
This Winter
WrapUp London
Every winter, we partner with WrapUp London to support people in need. By donating coats that we collect across the year from shoot samples, supplier samples and from our collections, we help over 200 people facing difficult circumstances to stay warm during the coldest months of the year.
Through the WrapUp London project, the coats are distributed to homeless shelters, women’s refuges, children’s centres and other UK charities helping people in crisis. WrapUp is a project run by Rotary Clubs working in partnership with the HandsOn London charity. Its sole aim is to provide coats that go directly to people across the UK, who struggle to keep warm during the winter months.
WrapUp does not distribute the coats directly to those in need but works with charities and community organisations that provide frontline services to the homeless, the elderly, refugees, children and families living in poverty and people fleeing domestic violence. When a vulnerable person reaches out to a charity for a coat, they also discover the other resources and forms of support available to them. In this way, the charities create lasting links with those they set out to help.
It’s amazing that one coat could be the catalyst for those in need and the charities that can help them – the starting point for year-round services and support.
