Sustainable Fashion Week (SFW) is a week of community activity, gathering people together to inspire, upskill and empower the community to make sustainable fashion choices.
The Charity Retail Association (CRA) is sponsoring Sustainable Fashion Week, 16 to 25 September 2022, with community events happening from 19 to 25 September 2022. You can host your event at any time during this period.
The four themes of the week’s activities are:
- re-wear
- repurpose
- regenerate
- reconnect
Each theme has calls to action that support a turn towards the sustainable and away from the fast.
UK charity shops divert 339,000 tonnes of textiles from landfill or incineration and encourage reuse at the heart of communities on our high streets. A rise in sustainable fashion influencers, ethical consumers and savvy charity shop chains has raised the profile of the sector and helped it to be stronger than ever – despite Covid and lockdowns. This makes for the perfect pairing for raising fashion sustainability awareness further, encouraging the public to think about who makes their clothes, how they are made, and how they can be mended or repurposed instead of discarded and that reuse is key.
SFW involves a packed programme of skills workshops, and creative events! SFW want CRA members to be part of this community movement by hosting your own event. Small or large, SFW invite you to collaborate with then and empower the community around you.
