Crisis, the national charity for homelessness, has opened its eighth shop in Dalston, just in time for Christmas.

The charity already has shops in Mare Street, Finsbury Park, Archway and Upper Street and three in south London.
Georgina Evans, Crisis' head of retail innovation and enterprise said "Keeping the tradition of our other stores, it will sell good quality clothing, accessories, books and furniture.
"More than a shop, it will be a central hub for the community, providing a space to come together, share ideas, and engage with our mission. There is also a café where visitors can enjoy a Crisis coffee, cakes and other refreshments.
