Smart Works exist because of our volunteers. All of the dressing and coaching is delivered by a skilled and trained team of empathetic, talented people who give their time to help a woman who is at a crucial moment in her life. All of our wardrobes are immaculately organised and curated thanks to the dedication of our wardrobe team.
Julia is one of our Dressing Volunteers, she supports clients who come to our North London centre, helping them to find the perfect outfit ahead of their interview.
“Smart Works is a cause very close to my heart and I love being a volunteer. It’s a wonderful community and a privilege to connect with so many brilliant women and hear their stories. Being able to provide a little help and support on their journey is fantastic.”
