Our Charity
Partnerships

JULY 2020

We will be donating 10% of the first month of net sales in our UK shops between the Music Venue Trust and The Stephen Lawrence Charitable Trust. We will also be donating 10% of the first month of net sales in our U.S. shops to the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. These charities reflect our values of independence and diversity and this is just the start of what we hope will be a long-term relationship with them.
