    Story

    I'm Sonny, the owner of Grant & Co Tailoring. Some years back I was down on my luck and needed a suit for a job interview, I barely had the money to buy food let alone a suit. Then an organisation called SuitedBooted gave me a life-line. Within 24 hours I was in their studio and was given a suit, 4 shirts, a pair of shoes and a bag full of ties. I got the job and then some...! Fast forward a few years and in a bizarre twist of fate, I'm now making suits myself!

    I want to be able to provide the service I was given. Be compassionate and non-judgmental, and in the only way I know how to, give people a helping hand to achieve their own success.

    I'll do this by using your generously donated money to produce suits in standard sizes at cost price - that is to say, I won't charge for my work only the cost of the materials. I will then give these suits to local charities and/or distribute them myself.

    I'm also looking for others to jump on this with me! If you can't afford to donate cash but you have good quality, second hand suits/shirts (for men and women!) please do get in touch, these can be used as well!!

      Hey friends! We're almost at 20%! That's so cool, thanks for your help. As we have slowed down a little bit I thought about removing the funds we have raised so far and beginning production, but that would mean I would make less suits, as I wouldn't buying the fabrics in such large quantities so I'd miss out on bulk prices. I think, the best plan is to simply wait and hope for the best so I have extended the deadline and hopefully, with your help, we can keep this going! Please share far and wide, it really goes a long way!!!

      Donations were steady this week, but we've slowed down since Thursday 🙁 I'm seeking alternative funding options via organisations with focuses on Charity but I'm convinced the best way to achieve my goal of helping men from low/no income backgrounds into work is with your support. This is an open invitation to all of you, come with me for the day, see the work I am doing alongside the Suited & Booted Charity, come and witness first hand how your help genuinely changes lives. This is a serious offer, I have availability all week!

      Fab idea, Sonny.. Great that you are giving back is response to the support you were given. Praying you smash your target and are able to suit and boot people so they can succeed like you have.

      This is a brilliant idea. It must really impact those who receive a suit. God bless you.
