We work with women in Greater London who are ready to change their future.

These women have often overcome a great deal of adversity and continue to experience many forms of social and economic disadvantage.

According to the ONS, women are far more likely to be employed in low paid or part-time work, more likely to head a single parent household and more likely to live in poverty. The coronavirus pandemic has only exacerbated these challenges.

In practical terms, we provide professional clothing, interview training and career coaching to women who need our support and guidance on their pathway to employment and financial independence.

This can have a huge impact on her life, the life of her family and the wider economy.

We are seeking funds and support to further enhance the Dress For Success Greater London facilities and offerings to meet the increased demand following the pandemic.

Your donations will contribute directly to the deposit required for us to establish an Empowerment Centre in Greater London to deliver our services to women from a permanent central location. With headquarters located centrally, we will be able to maintain our service levels in the long run and continue to provide a springboard for women to thrive in work and in life.

We have secured a significant portion of the funds required to purchase new premises through alternative sources of financing and we are now turning to the generosity of the public to help us raise the remainder.

The M.O.R.E Fundraising Campaign

*Multiply - By securing a central hub we can reach 3x the number of women in need of our services.

*Optimise - The central hub will be tailored to meet the specific needs of our new norm.

*Resources - After 5 years of empowering women back to work, it has become vital that we adjust our resources in the post-pandemic economy in a manner that will exceed the capability of our current facilities.

*Empower - Building on our already strong success rate of 80%, we can empower more women to be gainfully employed.
