14 Dec Volunteering at Crisis Christmas Pop Up

FEL’s Development Coordinator, Gee Fletcher, had a fantastic experience volunteering at the Crisis Christmas pop-up shop on Savile Row on Wednesday 6th December. She also spotted the Crisis printed bags, created at FEL’s micro factory, adorning the Christmas tree.

Nearly a quarter of a million households across England are now experiencing the worst forms of homelessness. Crisis works with thousands of people experiencing homelessness every year, providing education, training and support with housing, employment and health and wellbeing. All proceeds raised from Pop-Up Crisis will go towards Crisis’ work in helping people discover a life beyond homelessness.

Founding members, Anda Rowland of iconic Savile Row tailors, Anderson and Sheppard and renowned British fashion editor Tom Stubbs, supported by Crisis head of retail, Georgina Evans to curate a jam-packed product offering of brand-new designer wares, past-season stock, imperfect pieces and seasonal sample collections from luxury brands, generously donated in past seasons by supporters including; Vivienne Westwood, Wales Bonner, Pringle of Scotland, Richard James, Stephen Jones Millinary, Tods, Vince, Hackett, Giles Deacon, Gabriela Hearst, Grenson, Bianca Saunders, Anderson Sheppard, Burberry, Christopher Kane, Jimmy Choo and Erdem.

Gee said: “The store was filled with luxury items donated by brands on Savile Row, it’s a fantastic idea, people were buying Christmas presents for loved ones and the money spent goes towards ending homelessness. It was great to see people buying the bags that Fashion-Enter printed with deadstock fabric from the factory, the eye catching red tote bags featured Fat Cap Sprays artwork this year.” 

This pop-up has now closed, however if you would like to support Crisis, the national charity for people experiencing homelessness across Great Britain, then you can donate online or visit and shop at one of their charity shops such as the one in Finsbury Park, 19 Stroud Green Road, London, N4.
