Can we help your charity?

As part of Dressability’s ongoing community services, we de-brand new, unworn clothing that would normally be going to waste.  

The clothing is kindly sent to us as donations from a variety of businesses who have imperfect items, or from retail manufacturers who have unsold end of season clothing or sample clothing.  Most are very happy to find a good use for these items. 

We are always delighted to take delivery of such items, as not only is it recycling to help with sustainability but offers much needed warm clothing for individuals.  We distribute these items, de-branded, to a variety of charities who offer the de-branded garments to homeless, refugees and others in need of clothing.

If you are a charity who would have a need for such items of clothing, please do get in touch as we’d love to help.  Call Sharon Tombs for further information.

At Dressability we are always on the look-out for fabric, haberdashery and unused zips and buttons .  If you or someone you know have anything they wish donate we would love to hear from you.  Anything our dressmakers cant use will be taken to our next de-stash sale on February 10^th to raise funds for our work.

Dressability are very adept at producing beautiful, colourful drain bags to patients needing a drain post op. The bespoke drain bag holders they create provide a safe, secure and discrete place to store drains, allowing individuals to have peace of mind to leave the house and carry out day to day activities.

Sian (as pictured) was delighted to drop the bags off at Great Western Hospital Breast Clinic. They were received by happy staff members who were thrilled by their efforts. Dressability work on many projects within the community and can only do so by raising funds and receiving generous donations which enables them to help those who need their services.
