The Street Store London: clothes donations needed
20 February 2015
The Street Store London, a UCL student-led volunteering project and the first pop-up kitchen and clothing store for the homeless in London, is asking students and staff to support its initiative by donating clothes and accessories via a series of collection points across campus.
The donations will be distributed to 300 homeless people at the pop-up store on Saturday 28 February in Islington Green.
Using cut-out cardboard posters to create hanging space for donated items of clothing, the project - originally pioneered by M&C Saatchi Abel in Cape Town, South Africa - will offer clothes and fashion accessories for homeless people to browse and keep, alongside a selection of free hot food.

Donation boxes have been set up in the following locations across the university:
- Archaeology Building: student common room
- UCLU 25 Gordon Street: social study space
