Clothing by Kilo at The Old Crown in Digbeth, Birmingham, to support homelessness
A Clothing Kilo Sale is coming to The Old Crown in Digbeth to raise funds for Birmingham’s local homelessness support service and charity, SIFA Fireside.
Expect a huge selection of pre-loved clothing, vintage gems, and unique finds. Whether you're hunting for statement pieces or everyday essentials, you can fill your bag and pay by weight, all while supporting people experiencing homelessness.
The Kilo Sale is a continuation of the partnership between Digbeth neighbours The Old Crown and SIFA Fireside, which is another generous offer of support from the oldest pub in Birmingham. Running from 12 noon until 4pm on Saturday the 4th of April, clothing will be priced at £10 per kilo and the proceeds will support SIFA Fireside, which provides services to people facing homelessness in Birmingham.
The Support Centre itself, which welcomed over 2000 individuals experiencing homelessness in 2025 alone, costs £1.7m to fund each year, so not only will customers be guaranteed some good-looking new garments, but will also be supporting the most vulnerable people in our city.
Robb Sheppard, Head of Fundraising and Communications at SIFA Fireside said: “We had a brilliant response when we reached out for quality vintage clothing from our corporate partners, so we’re looking forward to seeing people getting their hands on a good haul.”
“We can then use the proceeds to keep funding our Support Centre, where we provide practical emergency clothing for those in need. We’re hoping for a great turn-out so arriving early is the best way to get a bargain.”
With SIFA Fireside seeing an increased demand for their services, there’s never been a better time to support your local homelessness charity.
