Barnardo’s in East Sheen is appealing for donations of warm winter clothes as the cold weather descends.

Stocks of winter clothes are “flying off the rails” at the store at 3 Parkway House, Sheen Lane.

All money raised in the shop is put back into Barnardo’s services supporting vulnerable children, young people and families across the capital, including those who are sexually exploited, who are at risk of homelessness or who are leaving care.

Naj Khimji, area manager for the East Sheen Barnardo’s store, said: “We really need people to look in their wardrobes and dig out any good quality coats, jumpers, and winter warmers that they haven’t worn for a while and bring them down to us in Sheen Lane.

“We’d also welcome any accessories, toys, books and bric-a-brac.

“The money raised from the sale of these items funds our work with disadvantaged children and young people in London, and local families will have the opportunity to buy vital warm clothes and presents at an affordable price.

“It also helps clear out much-needed space around the house in time for Christmas.”

Barnardo’s East Sheen is open from 9am to 5.30pm Monday to Saturday and 10am to 4pm Sundays.
