Excitement was in the air as racks and tables full of clothes were out on display for a Giving Tuesday pop up event in Camden last week.

On Friday, top trending tech talent consultancy Elements raised over £150 after hosting a pop-up shop featuring latest-season Topshop clothes and donations handed over by staff, to raise money for their charity partner Camden Giving.

The event was buzzing, with a crowd quickly gathering ready to peruse through the clothes.

Elements had thought of everything- there was even a Giving Tuesday-themed cake that people could come and enjoy for £1 a piece.

Grace Coffey, partnerships manager at Camden Giving, said: “Elements have been a huge support with kickstarting our Giving Tuesday campaign. We are raising money to support local youth services and tonight’s a great example of how local businesses can get involved in supporting the local community.

“Giving Tuesday is all about everybody getting involved in some way, whether that’s a bake sale, a fashion show, a pound and a coffee – there’s no excuse why businesses can’t get involved.”

Alicia Richardson, a talent research partner from Elements, said: “We host activities year round for Camden Giving and really believe in their cause and can see the positive impact they make on the community.

“We hope to host another pop-up in the new year as well so watch this space.”
