HOME TO COCREATE HACKNEY & THE COMMUNITY CLOSET.
When Community steps up, incredible things happen.
Throughout the year, The Community Closet runs seasonal donation drives to support residents during times when demand is highest. From winter coat collections and back-to-school clothing drives to our much-loved Closet Christmas, these campaigns invite the community to come together and help ensure families across Hackney have the essentials they need.
During these periods we may put out specific calls for donations, and every contribution - big or small - helps us respond quickly and support local residents with dignity.
Work Ready Wardrobe
We’re collecting smart, work-ready clothing to help local residents step into new opportunities with confidence.
From interviews to first days on the job, the right outfit can make all the difference. We’re looking for quality donations including smart clothing, blazers, shirts, trousers, dresses, and work shoes - ready to help someone take that next step.
All items will go directly to residents attending the Hackney Opportunity Fair and those preparing for employment, training, and volunteering opportunities.
Drop off donations at the CoHub, Mon - Thurs, 10am-4pm (until 18 May).
Because confidence starts before you even say a word.
Donate a Prize, Power the Party
We’re collecting goodie bag fillers and tombola prizes to help bring our Closet Spring Block Party to life - and raise vital funds to keep our community work going.
We’re looking for small, fun items for children’s goodie bags - think bubbles, pencils, stickers, and little treats - plus tombola prizes like toiletries (yes, all those unused gift sets 👀), cleaning products, arts & crafts supplies, and anything else that would make a great win on the day!
Every donation helps us create a joyful, welcoming day for local families - and keeps the Closet supporting the community long after the music stops.
Drop off donations at the CoHub, Monday–Thursday, 10am–4pm (until 1 May).
Because it’s the little things that make big community moments.
