We love the idea of Dress For Success. In a nutshell, they take your old (donated) suits and professionally attire disadvantaged women, helping them to thrive in work and life.
Dress for Success London provides services to over 500 women a year who are referred by more than one hundred partner agencies. Most of their clients are single mothers who have never been employed and come from long-term work-less households. Many of the women are ex-offenders, survivors of domestic violence, refugees, asylum seekers, recovering substance abuse users, homeless, disabled, afflicted by mental health issues and, all too often, combinations of the above. The charity is pleased to report that nearly 50% of their clients received offers of employment last year.
These are their goals:
As an individual, you can donate a suit, other business-appropriate clothing, a pair of shoes, or a handbag. As a company, you can collect on behalf of the organization or donate money to purchase new items.
So get in touch here, and give your old suit - and someone less fortunate than yourself - a second life.
These are their goals:
- Enhance opportunities for sustainable employment
- Increase access to self-development and soft skills
- Advance financial independence
- Improve family and community relationships
