Hey Twitter! Long time, no see! Here's a look at what we've been up to over the past year... Stay tuned for details of our next pop-up, which will take place late next month!

@alexberesfordTV Hey Alex! This is such a lovely idea. We provide clothing to refugees and asylum seekers in London and always have a shortage of good quality menswear (including almost never having suits). We would love to take these, if they’re still going! ~ Saskia

@RebeccaKMC @EthicalHour We try to create a service which feels dignified and leaves our visitors feeling good, beyond meeting practical needs alone. Currently, we work with @LucyandYak , @tattydevine , @EDWINeurope , Alzang, Jujuni Kids, and more! Here are some pics from our last event!

@RebeccaKMC @EthicalHour Thanks! 🥰 We host events every 3 months for people with precarious immigration status, in a high-end fashion showroom, in which all items are free! Brands donate items which are surplus, sized incorrectly, or have very minor faults (eg misprints). All items are brand new!

Please keep sharing and donating so that we can offer solidarity and warmth to all our visitors who need it this winter! 💓

Thank you so much to everyone who’s already donated to our winter essentials drive! We’ve been truly moved by the generous support of our followers. 🥰However, we still need your help...

[Thread Ahead @threadahead_]

At our last pop-up event, we provided 100 visitors with clothing items, and we anticipate that at least as many will be requiring gloves, socks and hats this winter. To cope with demand, we need to raise at least another £829. 🧤🧦🧣

@EmmaYouthWork @phoebehartgreen Thanks so much for sharing! 💞

~ p.s. if you kindly donated to our last fundraising drive (thank you!), your donation will still be used to pay for visitors’ travel to our events. 🥰

[Thread Ahead @threadahead_]

In response to the needs voiced by our visitors, we are putting together packs of essential winter items, containing thermal gloves, hats and socks, which they will be able to collect from an outdoor collection point in early February.

Could you buy one or more of the items pictured above via the link in our bio? All donations from today will go directly on buying these essential items. 💞 please also retweet + share!
