**The sixth annual [Wrap Up London](http://wrapuplondon.org.uk/) takes place this
week, asking Londoners to donate their unwanted coats to help people in need.**

Organised by [Hands On London](http://www.handsonlondon.org.uk/), in partnership
with [William Blair](https://www.williamblair.com/), this year’s target is 15,000
coats and jackets, which will be sorted and graded, and then given to 110 organisations,
which help a range of people including the homeless, elderly, refugees, women who
have fled domestic violence and children in poverty.

Coats can be donated at 15 locations across the capital including London Underground
stations and Safestores. Coat collections begin on 7th, 8th and 9th November from
7am-11am, at Kings Cross, Victoria, Waterloo, Canary Wharf, London Bridge, Highbury&
Islington, Euston, Liverpool Street, and the Broadgate Centre near Liverpool Street
station, as well as Safestores on Pentonville Road, Clapham North, Notting Hill,
and Clarendon Road.
