Homelessness charity Sussex Emmaus has celebrated the first anniversary of its vintage clothing social enterprise, Outfit London Road.

To mark the occasion, the charity invited the local community to a special late-night shopping event.

The evening provided a chance to shop sustainably, find unique bargains, and meet Emmaus staff and companions. As a thank you for the support received during its first year, customers also took advantage of a 3-for-2 special offer.

Since its opening, Outfit London Road has established itself as a popular destination for vintage clothing, pre-loved designer labels, and second-hand accessories. The shop plays a vital role in Sussex Emmaus’ aim to help individuals rebuild their lives after homelessness. It offers companions—residents at Sussex Emmaus’s Portslade site who have experienced homelessness—work opportunities, training, and development. Additionally, it generates crucial funds to support the charity’s services.

Cosmea Kavadellas, Manager at Outfit London, said, “We have had a fantastic first year here at Outfit London Road and were excited to celebrate with the local community. The late-night shopping event, which included a 3-for-2 special offer, was our way of saying thank you for helping us make the shop such a success. Customers love that they can shop sustainably, find vintage bargains, and support people who have experienced homelessness.”
