Homelessness is rising across the UK each year. In response, a group of friends with creative and entrepreneurial backgrounds came together to launch Pop Up Crisis in 2018 – a volunteer initiative to support those living on the streets, especially during the harsh winter months.

Through our annual fundraising event, we also help companies reduce waste by giving unsold or past-seasons stock a second life – offering stylish, affordable pieces to new customers, who may not usually access them, just in time for the festive season.

Pop Up Crisis brings together fashion and art students, emerging creatives, actors, musicians, and professionals from the fashion and art worlds to shop and spread the word to a wider audience. For brands, it’s a win-win: support a vital cause and gain exposure to a like-minded, influential crowd and future clients.

Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of people experiencing homelessness – in London and beyond.
