#WrapUpWarm

As temperatures in London drop, we were really pleased to have received a donation of 100 items of new clothing, including warm winter coats, for our clients from Chelsea FC and the Chelsea Foundation. The donation was part of their ‘Wrap Up Warm’ campaign which aims to provide warm clothing to those who need it most.

As a part of the campaign, we welcomed some of the players from the Chelsea FC women’s team to Penny Wade House. The players heard about SPEAR’s work from staff, and Andy and Shane shared their experiences of homelessness to independence. The players then spent time chatting to the Penny Wade residents, posing for selfies with them and signing autographs.

Our winter appeal
