Two charities are working together to collect and distribute coats and jumpers for people in need.
The Human Appeal starts its Wrap Up campaign next week while Sparkhill-based Narthex will distribute collected adults and children's coats, jackets and jumpers from its foodbank hubs in Birmingham.
"We have seen a massive rise in the demand for coats but unfortunately we have seen a decline in coats due to the cost of living crisis," he told BBC Radio WM. "It is the ninth year where we are asking members of the public to donate a spare jacket which they are not wearing and we re-home it to vulnerable communities across the city of Birmingham and the other respective cities as well," he said.
Narthex said it provided financial inclusion support and people were usually "in crisis" when they came to the charity.
