Local donations for the homeless

Does anyone know anywhere locally to donate coats and other warm clothing to the homeless, other than the charity shops on the High Street? Thanks.

I recently donated coats collected at a charity concert to Refettorio Felix based in Earls Court www.refettoriofelix.com- hope this helps

Take warm clothes, hats, socks to St Mary's Church - preferably on a Monday - for the Glass Door Shelter which is run at the Church during the winter months. They also need women's clothes and things like toothpaste, shampoo etc.

Thanks Ruth - I've not heard of them before.

Checked  the Glass Door Website and it doesn't mention Putney so I've emailed them.

Have you tried Crisis?  They open their doors for a week over Christmas and one of the many things they do on their sites is have a room full of clothing where people can go and ask for certain things.  I worked for them one year and the nearest place was Ealing College.  Try their website, they may even come and pick some stuff up.

Glass door also operates at St. Margaret's church (Putney Park lane). I think donations are welcome, especially on a Thursday.

Glass Door's website has no drop off for anywhere in Putney so I've emailed them to check.  Thanks.

Thanks for this - I'll check their website.
