Smart Works Charity dresses and trains unemployed women for success at their job interview. Every woman who comes to Smart Works receives a complete outfit of clothes and accessories (hers to keep) and one to one interview coaching. This works - in the last 12 months, 60% of the women we could contact went on to succeed at interview. Once a woman has a job, we also invite her back to give her a working wardrobe for her return to work.
All the clothes in our beautiful wardrobe are donated from individuals or retailers, and all our service is delivered by skilled volunteers who regularly give up their time to help style and coach our clients.
This year we will help over 3000 women from our 7 locations across the UK - North and West London, Manchester, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Reading and Newcastle. It is out mission to take this fantastic service to as many women as possible, whilst maintaining the impact and quality of our service.
