A message from Romane Branthomme

The Charity Shop is a project originally proposed by Sustainable Futures Society (SFS) to the Sustainability Team at LSE. When the project got approved, LSE estate's team offered the society to take over the old Santander space. As this project was quite ambitious, I took it over from the societies team and made it a Sabbatical Officer Project! I reached out to a little bit more societies, such as Raising & Giving (RAG), Circular Economy, Eco Soc, Fashion Business, Visual Arts. In the end, we got a bit of help from everyone to promote clothes donation but the project was mainly led by RAG and SFS! It took us almost a whole academic year to get the space but now we have it and it looks great!! I'm really happy that LSE gave us this opportunity and I hope it can go on in the next academic year.

Romane was the Activities and Development Sabbatical Officer for the 22/23 academic year. During her time as A&D Sabb, Romane launched a new partnership with Kitlocker, which provides sports kits for LSE sports teams. She supported the Atheltics Union committee, organised a big Varsity against Imperial, encouraged collaborations between student groups, and worked with green societies and RAG to open this charity shop!
