Introducing PropUp Project... a sustainable and social clearance solution for the TV & Film industry 🎬✨ Have you ever considered where all those props, costumes and sets go after the cameras stop rolling on your favourite TV show or film? 🎥📺 Well sadly it’s doesn’t always look too great for those bowler hats, scatter cushions, high street clothes, and bric-a-brac... 🎩🧳👔⚽🎸📚🛋️🖼️ We’re here to help productions pass those items on to second homes, extending the lifecycle of great quality items and support those that need it most. ♻️ If you’d like to find out more about the PropUp service or about how you can get involved, please get in touch: [email protected] 🙌 . . . . . 📷@andrew_chaplin_director - thank you for helping us put this together 👏 🎦@3spaceorg @loisstevenson - thank you for the extra footage 🙏 #sustainableproduction #sustainability #propupproject #community #tvandfilm #circulareconomy

When the cameras stop rolling, the impact doesn’t. 🎬 @PropUpProject is a non-profit that gives TV & film props a second life, supporting communities nationwide and reducing waste along the way. With more than 50,000 items donated to charities, redistributed in the circular economy and ultimately kept out of landfill, that’s what we call real impact. #eBaySellersUK

⚽️ A League of Their Own ⚽️ We’re so grateful to @skytv for sharing the impact of our work on their iconic sports panel show A League of Their Own. @alotosky 📺✨ We worked with the incredible @cplproductions team last year to distribute sets, props and costume from 20 series of the show to the communities in Manchester and Salford (where they filmed), and Oxfordshire (where they stored) ensuring the legacy of the show continued beyond the screen. ♻️ Publicity like this is crucial to build awareness, spread good news and create even more impact! 🗞️ Thank you Sky and CPL for working with us to achieve this. 🙌 #aloto #skyproduction #propupproject #reuse

🌍 HAPPY EARTH DAY 🌍 We are a small drop in our beautiful ocean but there is so much as an industry we can do. 🌊💧🎬 Behind every production is a choice. You could send it to the skip. Or you could send it somewhere it’ll be loved, used, and genuinely needed. ♻️✨ We’ve seen what happens when you choose the second option — sofas that turn community centres into living rooms, costumes that help someone walk out feeling like a new person, furniture that turns a refuge into somewhere that actually feels like home. 🙌 That’s not waste. That’s a wrap worth celebrating. 🥳 Let’s choose to put people and planet first. Today and every day. 💚 #EarthDay #SustainableProduction #CircularEconomy #PropUpProject #AlbertCertified TVIndustry FilmIndustry

After years working in TV and film and watching perfectly good sets, props and costumes go to waste, Kate and Emma decided to work on an alternative. In 2021 they started PropUp - a CIC redistributing materials from film and TV sets to community organisations who need them. Since then, they have donated over 50,000 items to organisations supporting young people, food banks, refugee groups and others across our community. 1,500 of those donations have gone to 32 organisations in Lambeth to address the unequal sharing of resources. Kate describes their time at International House as a ‘series of fortunate events’ for a reason! While dropping off a donation, a receptionist called Matt suggested they apply for a workspace. What started as a couple of desks, has now turned into a hub on the 10th floor. This space has allowed them to grow as a CIC as they are able to receive, store and redistribute at a scale that keeps up with the speed of the industry. If International House is sold, PropUp may have to operate on a reduced scale outside of Lambeth. We cannot afford to lose such an important resource. Show @propupproject some love! When the developers do not want you to talk about what happens within the walls of International House, visibility is power! #saveinternationalhouse #brixton #lambeth #gentrification #sudan

You wouldn’t be able to capture International House without the most fabulous circular economy project in town! ✨ Here’s what happened when we met up with Kate and Emma, ex TV producers and co-founders of PropUp Project, a not for profit organisation set up to help the TV and film industry deal with their prop and set waste in the most sustainable and socially responsible way. Since we shot our impact video, PropUp project now have an amazing dedicated team and a new central hub at our Warren Street project, which has allowed them to work with several major production companies and platforms. They have also won numerous awards for their sustainable impact work - their Rehome, Resell, Recycle model has allowed them to donate an impressive 50985 items to date! We’re very proud to have incubated them in our Brixton building for the last few years and can’t wait to see what they get up to next. To find out more about PropUp Project, visit their channels

Love Stories That Didn’t End on Set 💚 This Valentine’s Day, we’re sharing the love with our fellow sustainability community and celebrating the idea that sustainability is something we build together, a shared, circular process that works best through collaboration. Leverage Point Entertainment is collaborating with @propupproject to spread the love beyond the set, ensuring that sustainability continues long after filming wraps. Happy Valentine’s Day. #PropUp #LeveragePointEntertainment #CircularEconomy #ValentinesDay #SustainableFilmmaking #ReduceReuseRecycle #Sustainability #Love

💗💖♥️ BENEFICIARY LOVE ♥️💖💗 As we approach Valentine’s Day, we wanted to share the love with the incredible beneficiaries we are proud to support and partner with.

Every prop rehomed, every costume given a second act, helps create meaningful impact beyond the screen. ✨🎬💚 We’re so grateful to work alongside organisations that turn pre-loved treasures into powerful change. Here’s to partnerships that warm the heart and make the world a little brighter! ♥️🌎 #propupproject #propup #sustainabilityintvandfilm #valentinesday #preloved

This month, we’re focusing on sustainability in TV and film and what that looks like in real terms, not just in theory. One organisation we’ve been learning from is PropUp Project, who we first heard speak at Focus London. Their work looks at what happens to sets, props and costumes after wrap, and how much value is lost simply due to time pressure. PropUp support productions by managing reuse, redistribution and ethical recycling, so teams don’t have to solve it all at the end of a shoot. As they say: “We believe the stories we create onscreen have the power to live on offscreen.” We haven’t worked together yet, but their thinking fits closely with the conversations we’re sharing throughout February.​ @propupproject #SustainableProduction #ProductionDesign #ReuseInFilm #FocusLondon #BehindTheScenes​ #SustainabilityInFilm #PropReuse #SetLifeAfterWrap #ArtDepartment #FilmProduction #ReuseNotWaste #PropUpProject #PropUp
