A Muslim charity has collected more than 700 coats and 400 other items of winter clothing in a bid to provide warmth for the homeless on the streets of Manchester during the winter months. 

Human Appeal, a British international development and relief charity, launched a campaign in October called Wrap Up Manchester, calling on members of the public to donate their unwanted winter clothing to people in need. 

The donated items have now been sorted, and will be distributed by Human Appeal to homeless shelters, elderly organisations, women refuges, children centres and other charities.
