In just one month, London estate agency Chestertons has collected almost 4,000 coats for the charity Calling London<\/em><\/a> to help vulnerable Londoners through the winter months. The coat drive took place from 21 October to 22 November. The Putney branch collected 50 coats.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each of Chestertons high street branches were donation points and they worked with clients, staff, local community groups and businesses to generate awareness. This year, the branches had to work particularly hard to secure donations as the cost of living crisis resulted in many people not buying new coats and therefore not wanting to part with their old ones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many Chestertons employees, including the agency\u2019s newly appointed CEO John Ennis, volunteered over the final campaign weekend to sort the donations ready for distribution to charities. The donations have now been distributed to over 30 charities and shelters across the capital, including Crisis at Christmas, Little Village, Smartworks, Suited & Booted, Hestia and several food banks across the capital.<\/p>\n\n\n

Giles Milner, Marketing\nDirector and a Trustee of The Chestertons Foundation: \u201cIt\u2019s wonderful to\nsee all of the innovative ideas and approaches that Chestertons employees come\nup with to raise more and more coats every year for our Calling London Coat\nDrive. We are very pleased to have collected so many coats and I\u2019m enormously\nthankful to all of Chestertons\u2019 staff, clients, friends – and the local communities\nwe worked with – for their generosity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Frances Manthos, Founder of\nCalling London: \u201cWith the cost of living crisis and rising energy bills\nimpacting on so many households, the need for donations has been particularly\nhigh this year. The support of Chestertons, its clients, suppliers, and\nbusiness partners has been extraordinary and will make an immense difference to\nso many people in need.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
