Our Black Friday Donation

Black Friday has never really been our style. Our priority has always been to make timeless clothes that stand the test of time. And so, after the success of our previous Black Fridays, we’ve continued our efforts to support our chosen community organisations for 2023.

Between Thursday 23rd November (00:01 GMT) and Sunday 26th November (23:59 GMT), we donated 10% of net sales on fredperry.com and in our UK, France, USA and Germany ‘Fred Perry’ shops, to be split equally between four community organisations: The Music Venue Trust (UK charity no. 1159846), Blueprint for All (UK charity no. 1102267), Amy Winehouse Foundation (charity no. 1143740) and Museum of Youth Culture C.I.C. (UK Community Interest Company no. 09680751). The total donation is estimated to amount to £75,000. Check back soon for a confirmation of the final donation.

These organisations reflect our values of independence and diversity, and we are proud to have an ongoing relationship with each of them.
