Pop-Up Crisis is a collaborative initiative where luxury fashion, lifestyle brands and entrepreneurs come together to support Crisis, the UK homelessness charity. All proceeds from the pop-up store go directly to Crisis, helping to finance vital services for people. This year, the dates are Monday 7 to Saturday 12 December. The event details can be found on the website here.
So far, the initiative has raised £805,000 in cash and more in stock donations to Crisis shops after the event. This year, with your help, it is hoping to reach the £1 million milestone.
The project organisers are looking for any surplus stock — showroom items, customer returns, pieces with small faults, previous seasons’ collections — to give a second life. Every piece is sold to raise vital funds for Crisis, the national homelessness charity, helping people leave homelessness behind for good.
Donating surplus stock provides a practical alternative to destruction for businesses within scope of the EU Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which introduces obligations relating to unsold goods. To support this, Crisis has launched a new online stock disposal form which your team can find here.
If it is completed when a donation is made, Crisis will issue a certificate confirming that the stock was diverted from disposal into charitable reuse — clear documentation for compliance records and sustainability reporting.
Stock can be sent to:
