Last minute ideas with great cultural and social causes
If you’re still looking for some great gifts for loved ones, there’s some great ideas below that also support great cultural and social causes.
Give some comedy and drama this Christmas with the perfect night at the theatre. Choose from a West End musical, world-class opera or a thought-provoking play, Theatre Tokens start at just £5 and you can choose between beautifully-presented gift cards delivered by post and eGifts (handy if you're shopping last-minute!).
A pop-up shop like no other at 15-17 Foubert's Place where you can buy real items and life-saving interventions like winter coats, hot meals and sleeping bags for refugees this winter. You can also purchase life-changing bundles which support a range of people and needs; emergency housing for vulnerable people on the move, legal support and mental health support. Your gifts will be sent directly to those who need it most over the festive period.
Is there a better gift than an unforgettable, eye-opening experience? Whether it’s for a thoughtful Secret Santa for a work colleague of a family member, a walk with Unseen Tours is the perfect gift for curious minds – it can bring a new perspective on London, while making a real-world impact, supporting London’s homeless and vulnerably housed people, who lead these walking tours of the city.
Celebrating the scenes, styles and sounds forged by young people over the last 100 years, the Museum of Youth Culture launches a new pop-up shop at 95 Berwick Street in Soho this winter. You can support the museum and get your hands on a cool selection of books, vinyl and prints and stock up on those Christmas presents.
Become a membership and support London’s arts and culture
A great way to enjoy the best of London’s arts and culture as well as support creative and cultural organisations is to buy an annual membership. Whether you get membership directly for Historic Royal Palaces, National Gallery, Museum of London to the Tate, or buy a National Art Pass for the year and fill 2023 with inspiration and wonder.
