Interview Preparation and Clothing
Each client receives a bespoke dressing consultation with two trained, volunteer stylists and will leave with a beautiful, high-quality outfit. This service is free of charge and the clothes are hers to keep. This is followed by a one-to-one coaching session with an expert volunteer interview coach so she feels confident and prepared for her interview.
You need a referral first. Ring them, or ask a support worker, health visitor or Citizens Advice to refer you.

Our clients are referred to us from a wide range of non-profit and public sector organisations, including Job Centres, mental health charities, women’s refuges, homeless shelters, the prison service, NHS providers, youth organisations, and the education system.
