Donate a coat this winter

Can you spare a coat to help us raise vital funds to keep vulnerable older people warm and well this winter?

Back for the second year, our Donate a Coat initiative wants you to spread the warmth by donating old winter coats to an Age UK shop to be sold on and loved again – with all the profits going to Age UK’s vital winter warmth projects.

Celebrity coat auction

Before Christmas, the likes of Helen Mirren, John Prescott, Gary Barlow, Daniel Craig, Graham Norton, Barbara Windsor and many more donated coats to as part of our charity auction and raised almost £5,000.

Why we're collecting coats

Each winter, an extra 200 older people die every day from the effects of cold weather. Age UK is here to change that.

• Age UK helps people get benefits and grants to help with heating costs.
• Our Winter Grants Programme helps local partners deliver groceries to those trapped by bad weather.
• And our volunteers are making friends with those who would otherwise have no human contact.

You could help with just one small act of kindness. Let a coat you have loved be loved all over again.

You can donate your coat, or other quality items, to any Age UK shop.
