Warmth Projects
Winter can be life-threatening for families without adequate heating. Our Winter Warmth projects provide essential support, including warm clothing, blankets, and heaters, to help protect vulnerable communities from extreme cold. By delivering these vital resources, we prevent illness and save lives, bringing comfort, safety, and dignity to those who would otherwise face the harshest months of the year unprotected.
Why Donate Towards a Warmth Project?
Across the countries where we work, winter can be just as harsh as in the UK—or even colder. Many families live in homes that are poorly insulated, designed to stay cool during hot summers rather than retain heat during freezing months. Without proper protection, vulnerable individuals, especially children, the elderly, and those with existing health conditions, face serious risks including hypothermia, pneumonia, and other life-threatening illnesses.
Extreme cold is only one of the challenges. Families often live in cramped, overcrowded conditions, making it impossible to stay warm or avoid the spread of winter illnesses such as influenza, common colds, and even COVID-19. Limited access to healthcare and vaccinations compounds the danger, leaving weak immune systems exposed. Poor nutrition further heightens vulnerability, creating a cycle of suffering that can easily become fatal.
Our Winter Warmth projects aim to break this cycle. Through your support, we provide essential warm clothing, blankets, sleeping mats, and heaters to those most at risk. We prioritize reaching communities before the coldest months, ensuring that children, families, and the elderly are protected. These interventions don’t just save lives—they provide comfort, dignity, and hope to those enduring unimaginable hardship.
We have seen firsthand how a simple blanket or jacket can transform the lives of entire families, keeping them safe and healthy through harsh winters. But the need is immense: there are still countless communities who have yet to receive this vital support. Nobody should have to suffer or die simply because they cannot stay warm.
Countries We Operate In
The UK alone experiences, on average, 32,000 deaths in each December to March period that are in excess of mortality rates across the rest of the year.

Clothing Bundles
Clothing bundles provide essential winter protection for families facing freezing temperatures without adequate warm clothing or shelter.
For many of us, winter is marked by gentle snowfall, roaring fires, fluffy blankets and warm clothes. Temperatures fall and roads become icy and wet, but we know that in our homes we are safe, warm and protected. However, for countless people around the world, winter is a battle for survival. However, winter is a crisis they cannot flee. Without winter clothing, they cannot seek refuge from the sub-zero temperatures, snow and freezing rain. Warm clothing will make the world of difference. A typical clothing bundle will include a scarf, coat, socks, a hat and a pair of gloves.

Blankets
Warm blankets offer vital protection from freezing temperatures for vulnerable families facing harsh winters without adequate heating or shelter.
This winter will be one of the harshest winters many families have faced in decades, and it’s not just because the temperature is dropping. Families around the world, especially those who are living in refugee camps and in extreme poverty will struggle to protect themselves during these cold days and nights as the cost of living becomes more and more expensive. Around the world, the basic cost of supplies has gone up, which means more and more people are now finding it difficult to pay for the essentials.
The cost of food, firewood and gas has increased around the globe, these are essential supplies to keep families warm in the winter. As many communities around the world prepare for the freezing temperatures to kick in, we can assist them by providing good quality blankets, to help keep them warm and be the first line of defence against the bitter cold. Each blanket will provide families with an additional layer of warmth this winter.
