Tom, Louise, Alex, Yuxi and myself were given a variety of tasks to help with setting up this ImpactSOS concept shop in Shoreditch BoxPark. As this was the last session before the grand opening, it was a furry of activity - trying to get everything completed to a strict deadline. Some of our activities included: Louise wrapping up soaps, Tom and Alex doing some DIY and me shopping and sweeping the floors and watering the plants. The popup will showcase a variety of products from local charities based in Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Haringey and Waltham Forest - try and head over there if you can and show your support for your local community!

Join ImpactSOS to showcase amazing grassroots groups at our Boxpark Shoreditch store — helping set up displays, share their stories, and generate vital income to support local community projects
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.
