Now in its sixth year, Human Appeal has collected over 200,000 winter coats to donate to vulnerable people across the UK - and it’s looking for more.
The charity works across the UK, with three sites in Birmingham at Safestore in the city centre, Middleway and Pickwick Sports Ground in Moseley.

With the support of its partners, Human Appeal gives the coats to the homeless, domestic violence victims, refugees and other people who are currently vulnerable and in need of help.
They work with charities across the country who are helping people survive the winter months.
Labour MP Shabana Mahmood visited the Safestore in the city centre to back this year’s appeal.
