ABOUT US
Dress For Success
Dress for Success Greater London is a registered charity that empowers women into the workplace from positions of disadvantage by providing professional clothing and styling, interview coaching and ongoing support once they re-join the workplace.
An affiliate of US-based Dress for Success Worldwide, Greater London opened its doors in 2015 and carries the torch for the organisation in London.
How We Make a Difference
We help women to get back into the workplace by preparing them for an upcoming job interview. Our intervention is simple; we deliver a one-to-one styling session and provide clothing to help her feel confident and boost self-esteem. We then deliver an interview preparation session with one of our volunteer interview coaches who will enable them to perfect their interview techniques and be ready for the real thing.
Our clients in 2017 felt an average of 29% more confident for their job interview as a result of our simple intervention, and 98.4% of clients were happy with their appointment.
Our Patrons
Dress for Success is grateful to have patrons who support and cheerlead for the organisation wherever possible.
