ABOUT THE SHOP
Established in 1991 as a way for people to donate and buy items to raise funds for the charity’s work supporting people living with HIV and AIDS, The Crusaid SHOP is often described as London’s favourite charity shop. Located in SW1 and with royal patronage – Kensington Palace were early donors – it quickly gained a reputation for being more than your average charity shop.
Companies such as Ralph Lauren, Nicole Farhi and EMI have supported the shop by making repeated donations but equally valued are the personal contributions from cherished regulars.
The shop was originally situated on Upper Tachbrook Street and moved to its current location in 1999. Perhaps because the business is based on kindness...
