When our ‘friend of Dressability’ Osnic Embroidery had a sort out of their sample garments recently, they knew exactly where they would be made great use of and very kindly donated them to us.

As a charity, we are keen to work closely with other local community charities, so we asked our friends at the Rotary Club of Swindon if they could find a good home for the garments.

They have links with Christ Church in Old Town Swindon, who in turn, work with the Harbour Project to aid refugees and asylum seekers in Swindon. They were ‘blown away’ with the boxes of new coats delivered to them.

The Rotary Club of Swindon are also able to organise deliveries to the Ukraine to help those needing warm clothing whilst temperatures are freezing.

The Rotary Club of Swindon have offered to run a fundraising event to raise funds for Dressability for which we will be very grateful.

Seal of Approval

Imagine our excitement when Velcro Limited in Cheshire donated to us a new sleek and thin fastening product, which is softer, easier to sew and improves the look of garments as it’s slimmer & more discreet when applied to garments. Also being softer, it’s so much kinder to the skin on touch.

We would like to pass on our massive thanks to Velcro UK for this generous gift to Dressability.

A huge thank you to everyone – individual donors, local businesses and grant funders alike for helping us to smash the £10,000 fundraising target we were set last year by The Four Acre Trust. By achieving the target by the end of 2022, we will now receive an additional £10,000 from The Four Acre Trust, which is amazing news!  A massive thank you to them and everyone else who helped us rise to the challenge and make it happen in such tough economic times.  You are all amazing and we are over the moon!
