Throughout the winter months, the team at the Coventry and Rugby-based heating specialist has been gathering donations of clothing, shoes, school uniform and hygiene products, which have been delivered directly to Clothing Coventry, which has already seen temperatures plummet throughout the region. The charity distributes these items to people in need across Coventry, helping them stay warm and comfortable during the coldest period of the year.

To make supporting the initiative as easy as possible, Custom Heat engineers have been offering to collect suitable unwanted items when carrying out work in customers' homes, as well as accepting donations at the company's premises.

Lincoln Smith, Managing Director at Custom Heat, said: "We know how important it is to stay warm during winter, and sadly not everyone has access to adequate clothing and footwear when temperatures drop. Clothing Coventry does vital work in our local community, and we wanted to do our bit to support them. By working together with our customers and team, we hope to make a practical difference to people who need it most."

Custom Heat, which has operated as a family-run business since the 1980s, employs around 70 people and provides heating installations, plumbing, boiler servicing, heat pump installations and electrical work across the Midlands and South West regions.

Clothing Coventry accepts donations of good quality clothing, shoes, school uniforms and hygiene products, which are passed directly to individuals and families facing hardship.
