Fancy working at London Fashion Weekend for charity?



Friday 24th September - Sunday 26th September, Somerset House, London WC2R 1LA.

One of the busiest and trendiest fashion shopping events of the year, the Environmental Justice Foundation, EJF, are the official charity partner of London Fashion Weekend and have been donated two stands to fundraise and campaign for our ethical fashion campaign.

We are looking for a top team of brilliant volunteers to help to make the most of this fantastic opportunity. 

Volunteers at the show we will be raising the profile of ethical fashion and funds for EJF's international campaigns. 

In particular you'll communicate importance of organic sustainable cotton production that is free from forced child labour and environmental abuses - by:
  • Selling EJF's gorgeous, organic and fairly traded designer campaign t-shirts
  • Promoting EJF's first ever Fashion Raffle - We're going back to the old school in fundraising - if it's not broken don't fix it, right? We've rustled up nearly 100 amazing prizes and are hoping to raise critical funds through the sale of raffle tickets.

You will have a chance to learn key marketing, communication, fundraising and organisational skills while explaining the principles behind EJF's work.

Tickets for the event cost usually about £30 so it's a great chance to be part of the event for free while helping EJF's work.

Key skills needed include communication (in person), confidence and approachability, as well as enthusiasm and energy for the cause are vital. 

We are looking for a big team of volunteers and ask for a minimum of two shifts from each volunteer - each shift will last an average of 6 hours. 

  • Friday 24th September: 11am - 5pm / 4pm - 10pm
  • Saturday 25th September: 9.30am - 3pm / 1pm - 7pm
  • Sunday 26th September: 9.30am - 3pm / 1pm - 7pm

Please contact us by email with the days and times you are able to help with and any relevant experience.

This is a voluntary role and food expenses of £3.50 can be provided.

Please email larissa.clark@ejfoundation.org with the days and shift time you can help with – a minimum of 2 shifts is needed.
