ImpactSOS - Home of Impact (BoxPark Shoreditch)
ImpactSOS was established to help local — not national — community groups and charities become self-sustaining and demonstrate their impact. Across the country, people are quietly building creative, caring, and resilient solutions to neighbourhood challenges, yet too often these efforts go unseen. Our Boxpark Shoreditch store is designed to change that — showcasing products made by grassroots groups and generating direct income to support their vital work.

Help us bring the first ImpactSOS concept store to life!

We’re opening at Boxpark Shoreditch from 24th October for one month, showcasing products from 10–12 amazing grassroots groups across Tower Hamlets and Hackney. Each product tells a story of community creativity and resilience — and your help will make it possible.

We need volunteers to support the kit-out of our 5-unit space, helping transform it into an inspiring, community-powered store.

Tasks include: • Assembling furniture • Painting and setting up art installations • Hanging signage and posters • Stocking and displaying products

Your support will help generate vital income for local groups and ensure their work gets the recognition it deserves.

This project will help us bring local community impact to the forefront. By transforming our Boxpark Shoreditch space into a vibrant showcase, we’ll give 10–12 grassroots groups from Tower Hamlets and Hackney a platform to share their stories, sell their products, and generate direct income to sustain their projects.

The store will raise awareness of the incredible creativity and care happening in our neighbourhoods — helping local people feel seen, valued, and supported. It will also test a new model for ImpactSOS to replicate across London, amplifying even more community voices in the future.
