Property industry charity Agents Giving is partnering with Only a Pavement Away for its Winter Warmth Campaign, running from 1st November 2023 to 31st January 2024.

Through the initiative, items ranging from coats, jumpers and personal hygiene products are collected and distributed to rough sleepers on the streets.

The Winter Warmth campaign has been scheduled to run at a time when many rough sleepers are starting to feel the effects of winter, Agents Giving said, adding that there is always an acute shortage of warm clothing and personal products for those experiencing homelessness and the rigours of an English winter. 

Agents Giving is working with agents and suppliers to target the areas and communities relevant to where they operate. The charity advised that agents can help by collecting up warm clothing and donating to a local homeless charity, shelter or hostel in their area.

Greg Mangham, founder and CEO of Only a Pavement Away, commented: “We are thrilled to be running the Only a Pavement Winter Warmth campaign again this year. It means so much to have the support of Agents Giving and the property industry to help get behind this and support the work we do helping vulnerable people on the streets.”

David Newnes, chairman of Agents Giving, said: “Agents Giving are proud to be supporting the Winter Warmth Campaign and we urge you all to have a dig around in your cupboards for not only coats but warm items of clothing that you longer use or need to donate on to local causes.”
