Fundraising Clothes Shopping at the Swiftclean Pop-Up Shop

In October, as part of our 2024 fundraising campaign for EPPA, Equal People Performing Arts, we created a pop-up clothes and accessories shop in our Head Office at Southend. Donations came from the staff who brought in a variety of women’s, men’s, and children’s items which were in good condition, but no longer worn.

In addition to raising funds for EPPA, this had the added environmental bonus of helping combat the problem of fast fashion by extending the life cycle of unwanted clothing and accessories. Those who took part also had the feel-good factor of achieving a more sustainable wardrobe and keeping clothes out of landfill.

At the end of the event, items not sold were either passed on to a local charity shop or sold online with the profits again donated to EPPA.
