Step Into Christmas at Save The Children UK's Charity Retail Event!

Written by Victoria Cotton | Dec 3, 2024 4:26:13 PM

Last week, we had the opportunity to see the festive magic of Covent Garden at the Save the Children UK Christmas Pop-Up!

Not only did we get to see the event in full swing, but we also rolled up our sleeves to volunteer alongside the amazing staff and other dedicated volunteers. It was a heartwarming experience to see the hard work and passion that goes into bringing this joyful initiative to life. 

This festive shop hosts a collection of perfect Christmas gifts featuring:
❤️ Stylish and sustainable pre-loved Christmas jumpers from @beyondretro
❤️ Gorgeous homeware and gifts featuring artwork designed by children
❤️ Christmas cards and decorations.

And here’s the best part: 100% of proceeds go directly to Save the Children’s life-changing work, supporting children around the globe (and right here in the UK).

The handcrafted products are designed by children from around the world, by those whom Save the Children supports. They are made using sustainable materials that care for our planet while supporting small, independent suppliers. These gifts don’t just look, taste, and smell amazing—they also make a meaningful difference.

Wil-U has been a proud partner of Save the Children UK for nearly a decade by supporting their charity retail shops across the country. Last month, we were excited to take our commitment a step further by contributing not just our time but also our innovative charity EPOS system to support their Christmas pop-up event. Seeing the dedication and hard work poured in by the staff and volunteers was truly inspiring, they make events like this and their shops a heart-warming celebration of teamwork and the spirit of giving.

The pop-up runs until December 12th (10 am–7 pm, extended until 8 pm on weekends) in Covent Garden. Whether you’re in London for Christmas shopping or just soaking up the festive vibes, pop in and explore before time runs out. You’ll find brilliant gifts for a brilliant cause—what could be better?

Save the Date and Spread the Cheer!
