Wrap Up
2023-11-06 - 2023-11-12 | All Saints Church, Cople, Grange Lane, Cople, Bedfordshire, United Kingdom
Supported by Cople Tuesday Club and Sheerhatch RotaKids
Wrap Up is a project run by various Rotary Clubs working in partnership with Hands On London.
Its sole aim is to provide coats, that go directly to people across the UK, who struggle to keep warm during the winter months.
The Wrap Up campaign only runs for a short time each year. This year we will be collecting in Cople during the week beginning 6th November.
A collecting box will be located in the Church porch between 9.30am and 5.00pm daily.
What’s Needed?
Preferably heavy duty coats, in good condition, that are weather resistant, for adults and children.
Where will they go?
Coats donated to Wrap Up are distributed via homeless shelters, refugee centres, organisations supporting the elderly, women’s refuges, children’s centres and other charities helping people in crisis.
Where can I find out more?
FAQs and other information can be found at wrapupuk.org
