The impact of COVID-19 - We need your help!

2020 has not been without its challenges for the Redress team. Due to COVID-19, we have been forced to cancel numerous fundraising and community events throughout the year, and have had to find new ways to deliver our programmes - including taking our entire Redress Design Award and Get Redressed Month programmes virtual. 

Our team has worked hard to ensure that we continue to deliver the same impact and continue driving our mission, to cut waste out of fashion.

The most recent blow has been the cancellation of yet another critical event: our Winter Get Redressed Pop Up shop. Our secondhand pop-up shops serve two purposes: firstly to encourage Hongkongers to extend the life of their own clothes, and reduce the carbon footprint of their wardrobes by buying secondhand; and secondly, to help us raise vital funds towards our operations costs. Without them, we struggle to cover our everyday running costs.

If you are able to donate any amount to help ensure our work can continue, it is greatly appreciated. At times like this more than ever, it is  the support of individuals like you that makes our work possible.

If you aren’t able to donate, there are other ways you can support us!

  • Host your own swap party or mini pop-up shop! Simply get together with friends or colleagues, organise a time and place to sell or exchange your preloved clothing, and consider donating the proceeds to Redress. Reach out to us if you’d like some tips, or to share your successes with us!
