As part of our 70th anniversary and Women in Construction week, we have been collecting clothes for SmartWorksHQ, a UK charity that dresses and coaches unemployed women in preparation for job interviews. Our staff have been super generous, donating good quality work-appropriate clothing, bags and shoes. They’ve even got their friends and family involved – shout out to the ladies csbex for their donations too!

In their own words – “Job interviews are difficult and a significant barrier to success. Without the necessary self-belief and practical tools, it is easy to become trapped in a cycle of failed interviews and unemployment.
SmartWorks believe in the power of clothes and coaching to transform a woman’s confidence. The service is carefully designed, with kindness and respect at the heart of everything they do. It is about much more than the clothes a woman is gifted: it is about what the clothes allow each woman to become. When she looks in the mirror, she begins to see hope and possibility for a better future.”
