The Little Black Dress Initiative supports the Junior League of London in our mission to advance women's leadership for meaningful community impact through volunteering and training. Your donations directly benefit local community partners and support the League's outreach and volunteer training programs.

Why do I campaign? Because poverty is higher in London than in any other region or county in the UK. The Trust for London states that after housing costs:

● 26% of Londoners are living in poverty

● Persistent low income remains disproportionately high among non‑white households, reaching 38% nationally.

● Single‑parent families continue to face severe hardship, with 43% of children in these households living in poverty

● Shelter reports at least 354,000 people are homeless in England — a 14% rise in just one year.

Please join me in supporting community organisations across London during this pivotal time by donating to this year's LBDI Campaign.
