Chestertons Coat Drive

For the 11th consecutive year, Chestertons is proud to support charity Calling London in a mission to keep London’s homeless and most vulnerable warm throughout the winter.

From the 21st October until 23rd November, all of our London branches will become donation points for members of the public to drop off warm winter coats and jackets. Local schools, businesses and community groups are encouraged to get involved, and Chestertons employees also run their own collections from family, friends and neighbours.

“The impact of the cost of living crisis means the demand for winter coats is likely to be higher than ever, with many more families facing financial difficulties - so your kind donations are needed now more than ever.”

Since partnering with Calling London in 2013, Chestertons has collected more and more coats every year, starting with 200 in our first year and growing to an incredible 5000 in 2023.

This winter we are hoping to collect even more coats as the demand is so much higher!
