WE’RE  BACK  FOR 2024!!

WRAP  UP  CARDIFF  NEED  YOUR  WARM,  CLEAN  WINTER  COATS  FOR  ALL  AGES:  IF  THEY’RE WATERPROOF  THAT’S  A  BONUS

Wrap Up Cardiff is a campaign run by Rotary Clubs in Cardiff in partnership with the registered charity Hands On London. The central idea of Wrap Up is simple: there are many people in dire need of warm clothing in winter, and others who have warm coats in good condition which they want to give away.

Thick warm winter coats (including gilets, fleeces and anoraks) donated last year were very gratefully received by many of our local charities.

So we start the Wrap Up campaign again on 1^st October when warm winter coats etc., will be collected by Rotary volunteers and each garment will be inspected to ensure it is clean and in a good condition to be donated.

Please keep a look out for our Wrap Up Cardiff branded collection boxes which will be placed in locations throughout Lisvane and other areas of Cardiff  from 1^st October.  If your business would like to get involved by having a collection box please get in touch with…….
