A pay-it-forward store like no other: shop second-hand to give refugees the chance to shop for free.

This June, over Clothing Poverty Awareness Week and Refugee Week the ‘Thrift & Gift’ Pop-Up will support Give Your Best (GYB) through the sale of pre-loved, men’s and women’s fashion as well as a host of in person workshops and events throughout the pop-up, providing an opportunity for people visiting the shop to donate their pre-loved clothes.

During Refugee Week for the first time in GYB history, their community will be able to shop in person for free during the stores’ free shopping events.

The store will also house GYB’s famous “Bestie Bins” to allow you to drop off you high quality pre-loved fashion to be distributed to refugee women and children.

Location: Islington Square, Open every day 10-6 and Sundays 11-5

Who are Give Your Best?

Give Your Best is an award-winning, tech-for-good nonprofit that provides women and children who are refugees, seeking asylum and others experiencing clothing poverty in the UK with access to an online platform of donated clothes that they can “shop” for free. Like Vinted but for donations, Give Your Best is the first circular platform to offer this service, which gives users the dignity of choice they deserve while extending the life cycle of clothing already in circulation.

Who are Round Retail?

A charitable fashion resale platform that creates meaningful retail experiences in meanwhile spaces that not only support our planet by circulating premium pre-loved fashion but also the people that live on it through our charity partnerships. They move all over the UK hosting pop-up shops for charities that do not have shops of their own giving them a high street presence as well as offering them another revenue of fundraising.
