The festive season is the perfect time to share kindness and give back to those who need it most. This Christmas, several Putney businesses are spreading generosity through charitable appeals and you can help make a difference.
Chestertons’ Winter Coat Drive
Chestertons Putney are once again warming hearts and making a difference with their 11th annual Winter Coat Drive in partnership with Calling London. The campaign collects gently used coats and jackets to support those in need across the capital.
Donations can be dropped off at the Chestertons Putney office until 21st November 2025. Find more details at chestertons.co.uk/articles/chestertons-winter-coat-drive-2025.
Ernest & Larner’s Pyjama Appeal
Ernest & Larner Funeral Directors are supporting Children’s Hospital Pyjamas, a UK-based charity that collects brand-new pyjamas for children from newborn to 18 years old. These pyjamas are donated to local hospices, hospitals, and women’s refuges to bring comfort to poorly and vulnerable children during the festive season.
You can support the appeal by donating a brand-new pair of children’s pyjamas at the Ernest & Larner branch in Putney at 246 Upper Richmond Rd, London SW15 6TG. Learn more about the charity at www.childrenshospitalpyjamas.co.uk.
Wrap up London Coat Drive
Wrap up London is one of the largest winter volunteering events in the city. All coat donations go straight to front line charities who share them with those who need them the most.
You can support the drive by donating a warm pre loved coat in good condition until the 7th December. Drop your coat off at Co-Op Funeralcare at 221 Upper Richmond Road, Putney or at the Duke’s Head Pub, 8 Lower Richmond Road SW15 1JN. – WrapUp London | Donate a coat this winter
