Welcome to Our Space
Thank you for being here today. Your presence supports Black women affected by domestic abuse — and that matters more than you know.
More than a shop, our community hub
Tonight marks a new chapter for Sistah Space. After months of behind-the-scenes work, our Dalston store is officially reopening, and it's unlike anything we've done before.
Our ambassador FKA twigs has curated an incredible collection of donated pieces from some of the biggest names in fashion, music, film and sport.
Featuring pieces from
Every item you pick up tonight puts money directly into the hands of a charity that has spent 10 years fighting for Black women.
Our Dalston store funds Sistah Space's frontline services, advocacy work, and specialist support programmes for African and Caribbean heritage women.
We're looking for high-quality donations to keep the shelves stocked and the mission funded. If you have pieces to give, keep scrolling, we'd love to hear from you.
"Spaces like this are more than shops — they are lifelines rooted in care, protection and community."— FKA twigs, Sistah Space Ambassador
The UK's first specialist domestic abuse charity for Black women
Sistah Space was founded in 2015 following the murder of Valerie Forde and her 22-month-old daughter, Baby RJ. Their story exposed how mainstream services were failing Black women — and became the catalyst for everything we do.
For 10 years, we've been providing culturally competent support, advocacy, and practical help to women of African and Caribbean heritage affected by domestic and sexual abuse. From our base in Dalston, we offer specialist services that understand the intersection of racism, gender-based violence, and cultural context.
Our work spans five pillars: specialist support, refuge development, cultural competency training (known as Valerie's Law), our food bank, and this very shop — which reinvests every penny back into frontline services.
We want every item to feel special
Something someone picks up and knows they're getting quality, while supporting a cause that matters. Donations of brand-new and like-new items are welcomed.
