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.

Christmas
🎄 A Closet Christmas - The Elves Are Back in Town! 🎅✨
Spreading festive joy, one gift, one family and one act of kindness at a time!
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at The Community Closet! 🎁 Our biggest seasonal project is back, and we're calling on our wonderful Hackney community to help us make Christmas magical for local children and families.
We're collecting Christmas jumpers, festive decorations, new and unused toiletries and gift sets, toys and books to share with families and residents who could use a little extra festive cheer this year. Every donation helps us make Christmas more affordable, inclusive and full of joy.
And where does all the magic happen? At A Closet Christmas Market - our biggest event of the year! Expect festive stalls, Christmas castles, refreshments, family fun and, of course, our FAMOUS Elf Run Grotto! 🧝♀️🎅
The elves are back in town, Hackney - and we're on a mission to make sure nobody misses out on the magic of Christmas! ❤️💚
Donate. Share. Get Involved. Let's make Christmas magical together!
Donate Arts & Craft supplies, Power the Palettes
We’re collecting arts & crafts supplies to help bring our Kids Art Sessions to life - saving vital funds to keep our community work going.
We’re looking for paints, felt tips, sketching paper, craft bits, flowers, ribbons, glitter, felt sheets, PVA glue, kids scissors and anything else that could be resused by us!
Every donation helps us create a joyful, welcoming session for local children - and also keeps the Closet supporting the community long after the class stops.
Drop off donations at the CoHub, Monday–Thursday, 10am-3pm.
Because it’s the little things that make big community impacts.
