Working Wardrobe.  The FOUR W’s

·         Who

Working Wardrobe is a non-profit clothing charity aimed at providing suitable work attire for people engaging with our working partner hubs for employment, training and volunteering opportunities.

·         What

Working Wardrobe aims to provide good quality clothing to those who are unable to obtain suitable work attire due to cost.  All clothing is donated in new / nearly new condition and ensures good quality items do not contribute to the eleven million garments that are estimated to go into landfill each week!

·         Where

Wherever we can be!!  Working Wardrobe would like to be able to expand the operation throughout Wales and create sustainable communities for a circular economy. 

·         Why

Working in line with the Future Generations act as our framework, our community partners and our parent company, the Moxie Foundation, is a combined effort of expertise and enthusiasm to drive this forward.
