Rough Sleepers: designer charity shop
A charity shop with a bit of an edge is opening up in Camden later this month, with all profits going towards fighting social exclusion.
And shopping there won't be your average Oxfam experience. At Rough Sleepers, you'll find a fusion of high-end fashion brands alongside the work of talented new designers. Uniquely, the store also provides training and work-space for homeless, exhomeless and other socially excluded people.
Novas, the charity behind the project aim to provide a 'high quality environment for developing and selling fashion by contemporary and fresh new designers'. Novas artistic director Paul Everitt said there would be a sewing studio supporting people back into the workplace as well as opportunities to work in the shop.
Rough Sleepers will be located at 43 Chalk Farm Road, Camden, London NW1
