Dressability would like to give our best wishes to Her Majesty the Queen this weekend as we celebrate her Platinum Jubilee. We will be closed on Thursday 2nd & Friday 3rd June, but will re-open again on Monday 6th June.
Our lovely friends from the The Openwork Foundation have been in at Dressability this week decorating our slightly tired offices.
A huge big thank you goes out to all the lovely people who donated their time and materials to help us provide an environment from which our staff and volunteers can continue to provide our amazing service adapting clothing for those with disabilities and limited dexterity.
A recent customer adaptation, and one of our most requested – adding velcro to a button up shirt. This simple adaptation helps with ease of dressing, and outwardly looks totally unchanged.
As research shows, the clothes we wear can have a huge impact on how we feel about ourselves and here at Dressability we aim to offer our clients the freedom to choose clothes and adaptations that bring out the best in them.
This month saw Sharon Tombs, Manager of Dressability, sail off for a well-earned rest!
However, Dressability was never far from her thoughts and now back, refreshed from her travels and raring to go, Sharon returned to find her team of amazing volunteers busy making Christmas stockings in a drive to sell these beautiful items for extra funding for Dressability.
These Christmas stockings will be on sale for anyone wishing to give a very unique gift this year from next week onwards.
Watch this space for further information or call us today to register your interest.
Our lovely Sharon Tombs went to visit Councillor Mary Champion this week to talk through Dressability’s outreach programme and to see how we can best offer this service to the community at Royal Wootton Bassett.
Not to lose an opportunity, the local Town Crier, Owen Collier, was happy to pose for a cheeky photo holding one of our Dressability leaflets!
Oh yah, oh yah…Calling out to all Wootton Bassett residents, do let us know if you would benefit from our services.
Get in touch today.
However, the new September term will be here before you know it!
Just a reminder that Dressability alter and adapt school uniform for children who struggle with fastenings.
If you require our expertise in adapting school clothing to meet your child’s needs, please get in touch. We’d love to help.
