Winter Coat Drive
Since August 2023, there has been a 140% increase in destitution among refugees in the UK.* Most people seeking asylum are banned from working and survive on under £7 per day. We urgently need your support to ensure our visitors can access the warm items they need this winter.
Thread Ahead is running a winter coat drive from the 7th till 17th December. Clear our your closets, save your unwanted items from waste, and help keep someone warm this winter. Drop-off points are available across London or, if you would like to donate by post, please get in touch.
