Chelsea supporters wishing to donate warm clothing to be distributed to those in need across our local community can do so prior to the game against Arsenal.
Chelsea Football Club, Chelsea Foundation and the Chelsea Supporters' Trust are working in partnership with charities tackling homelessness across London this Christmas and beyond in the Wrap Up Warm initiative launched this week.
Collection points
At Stamford Bridge, from the Arsenal game onwards, the matchday drop-off point is situated at Stamford Gate behind the security checkpoints. On Sunday it will be open from 1.30pm until kick-off.
Examples of items that will be welcomed are:
All preferably new or gently used
Warm winter coats
Winter hats
Gloves
Jumpers/hoodies
Trousers
Shoes
New, we cannot take second hand of these
Socks
Men's underwear
Thermal vests/Long johns
The Chelsea Supporters' Trust will be running a drop-off point outside the Stoll building on Fulham Road, between Fulham Broadway tube station and the Britannia Entrance, before the Premier League matches against Aston Villa and Brentford.
Financial contributions
Clothing donations are a part-solution to a long-term societal problem and therefore, Chelsea Foundation is also appealing for financial donations which will be granted to charities in London tackling homelessness and its roots causes all year round. Donations can be made below…
