A classic trench. A chic camel, belted number. A colourful affair with faux-fur trim. Whatever we coat we slip into before we brave the bracing wind and icy showers, they all have one thing in common. We take their warming presence for granted. They are a basic need, a winter essential in these chilly climes. Yet, for some of the 13.5 million people living in financial need in the UK, a winter coat is just one more luxury they can't afford.

To help fight this poverty national charity Elizabeth Finn Care has teamed up with a host of celebrities to hold an online coat auction. Donations include Sienna Miller's Barbour jacket, Cherie Blair's black hooded cashmere Sorelle Fontana number and one from rom-com king Richard Curtis.

Elizabeth Finn Care gives direct financial support to those living below the poverty line and aims to help people in financial crisis buy essential clothes with the auction proceeds. So you can remain smug in the warm glow of knowing you're helping others to keep warm and healthy as you bid for a piece of fashion history.

The auction begins on eBay on 31 January.
