Smart Works - Fundraise for Smart Works

Ways to fundraise

Take on a challenge for Smart Works

Set yourself a challenge and get active while supporting our mission. Every year through sporting challenges Smart Works raises thousands of pounds to empower women with the clothing, coaching and confidence they need to transform their lives.

When you run for Smart Works, you’re not just covering miles, you’re joining a national movement dedicated to empowering women with the tools, confidence, and opportunities to thrive. You can be part of that impact too.

Setting yourself a sponsored challenge, either individually or with a team, is the perfect way to fundraise for Smart Works.

Check out our upcoming challenges below!

Style it out

Use the power of sustainable fashion to raise vital funds for Smart Works

Join us at our Fashion Sales

Arrange a team day out to one of our renowned Fashion Sales – 100% of proceeds come to Smart Works so this is guilt-free shopping at its best! Keep your eyes on our website and social media for upcoming sales.

Organise a clothing sale

Clear out your wardrobe and sell your pre-loved garments online and donate the proceeds. If eBay or Depop is more your thing, you could sell iems via an online platform and donate the money raised directly to Smart Works.

Run a fashion themed raffle or competition

Can anyone guess the number of scarves in the box? Or bracelets in a jar? Contact local clothing stores, businesses and brands near your home or office, asking them to donate prizes and get involved.

Team wardrobe day

If your workplace offers you an annual charity volunteering day or quota of hours, come and spend time at Smart Works.

We offer bespoke team volunteering opportunities in our centres, supporting our service delivery and ensuring a positive experience for our clients. No day at Smart Works is the same, but volunteering often includes sorting incoming donations, merchandising and curating stock and helping us prepare for our famous Fashion Sales. We occasionally have opportunities to support client coaching or virtual sessions for our Network members – a community of past clients who have successfully secured employment.

Our Team Wardrobe Days are available as part of our wider corporate and retail partnerships, and are a unique opportunity for employees to work together, while making a tangible difference to our clients. Find out more about our partnerships and fill out our contact form here.

Take on a challenge as a team.

Taking on a challenge with your workplace is the perfect way to fundraise for Smart Works. Raise vital funds to help empower women for job success whilst bonding with your team.

You don’t have to be an athlete to get active; what about a sponsored after-work yoga class, or a Friday night dance-athon? And of course, we invite you to join Step up for Smart Works.
