PROVIDING INTERVIEW CLOTHING FOR THOSE WHOSE BUDGET IS A VERY GENUINE BIG FAT £0
DRESS FOR SUCCESS
Hurrah – you got the interview! Big congrats to you. So now you need to grab that ‘interview’ outfit from the back of the wardrobe, pop some polish on your shoes and you’re good to go! For most of us, I’d like to think this is how it works.
But what if your circumstances mean your wardrobe is limited to everyday wear and the limited funds you do have, simply won’t stretch? Suddenly the high of being granted an interview is dashed, when you realise that you’ll only get one chance to make that first impression – and a T. shirt, jeans and trainers just don’t cut it.
Unfortunately, this is a very real problem for more people than I’d care to speculate.
Opportunity Suits is a project run by me, to help people who find themselves in a similar situation to the one I have described above.
I want to help people make the best first impression they can, and that’s why I collect and redistribute unwanted business clothing – to get it where it’s needed the most.
​
I work with charities, community projects and help groups, who work with people who fit the criteria above.
UPCOMING EVENTS
Join me for a scrumptious Talk Business brunch at The Seagrave Arms in Chipping Campden on the 1st and 3rd Wednesday of every month, from 10am.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
If you are a charity, community project or help group that’s involved with people who can’t make ends meet, get in touch and we’ll arrange a suitable date and time for Opportunity Suits to come to your venue or event.
If your wardrobe is overflowing with items you no longer need, then we'd love to have them. I'm looking for good quality business dress for both men and women including: shirts, ties, suits, dresses, skirts, blouses, coats, handbags, briefcases and shoes.
After all, clothes just want to be loved!
I ask that those who are attending your event are genuinely in need of the service we are providing, and if you can add to my stock levels by organising donations, then that would be amazing.
I won't be able to supply clothing suitable for everyone who needs it, but I will try. I only select clothing I would be happy to wear myself, but as everything is pre-loved, I can’t be held responsible for any unfortunate clothing mishaps – such as a zip breaking, or stitching coming loose.
HOW CAN YOU HELP?
Whether you're a charity or community initiative working with groups like those I've described above, or you'd like to donate clothing, your services or your time, simply get in touch.
