Fundraising limited edition t-shirts from Evening Standard for the Dispossessed Fund

We all love a bit of sartorial politicising, so what better way to show our solidarity with London than with our clothes?


Following ES Magazine?s landmark London United issue, which paid tribute to the city?s resilience in the face of tragedy and the recent terror attacks, the magazine is launching a series of t-shirts to raise money for the Evening Standard?s Dispossessed Fund.


Partnering with t-shirt manufacturers Everpress, the five iconic covers by Antony Gormley, Anish Kapoor, Jamie Hewlett, Wolfgang Tillmans and Ai Weiwei will be reproduced on t-shirts and are available to buy for ?25 each.


Seventy per cent of proceeds will go directly to the Dispossessed Fund, a charitable fund run in partnership with the London Community Foundation. The remainder will go to Everpress to cover the cost of production.



For each t shirt bought, ?18.75 will go straight to helping the local people living in your community- whether that?s the children at your local school, the pensioners you pass on the street every day or the survivors of the Grenfell Tower tragedy.


As these are limited edition, be sure to snap up your favourite ? or all five - before they run out.


For more information, pick up a copy of this week's ES Magazine.

Hi IlonaM,


Just in case you haven't realised, you have repeated your post twice :-)


Are you part of this initiative? Wondering if you know where the other ?6.25 goes. Does it go to the Evening Standard?

Thanks for pointing that out! No, I'm not part of the initiative, I just thought it was rather a good one and wanted to spread the word. Have bought an Ai Wei Wei t-shirt myself. As for where the ?6.25 goes:

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
