Helping less forefront women in the community is something that I am so proud to be able to provide as part of Fine-tuned wardrobe
It’s so much more then a styling service

Every day people come to our Resource Centre who are currently struggling with homelessness and severe hardship. They are either sleeping rough, in a vehicle, in a tent or in precarious accommodation. They often literally just have the clothes they are standing up in, and one of the ways of supporting them is to offer them a replacement set of clean clothes, and get them warm and waterproof things in these winter months if we can. We are able to give out good quality clothing because people like you at Fine- tuned wardrobe are kind enough to donate them in the first place. We are very grateful to Fine-tuned wardrobe for helping us in this way.

“Sophia has supported BWC for a number of years and her generosity has really made a huge difference to the lives of women that we support across Sussex.
Last year, as Christmas was approaching, there were a number of women who staff knew would benefit from specific items of clothing. Sophia went out of her way to accommodate our request for warm winter jumpers, trousers and winter boots. She was even able to donate over 70 scarves that were wrapped up as Christmas gifts for the women who attend the BWC foodbank.
It is a pleasure to work with Sophia and we’re grateful for her continued support.”

“Thank you to the people who made this happen
“Just want to say a massive thank you for the items of clothing you offered me. They have come at an important time as the weather had turned much colder and I had very few items in my wardrobe which fitted me. I struggle to get to the shops as my wheelchair doesn't like the cold, wet weather we have been experiencing and I do not have any close relations who I could ask to take me.
The quality of the clothing you have given me is fantastic and I particularly like the grey/blue and rust coloured cardigans. They are most practical as I can manage to get them off and on by myself without needing help from my carer. They are also warm and soft material which is very cozy to wear. I will continue to wear them both throughout the rest of this winter and also for chilly days leading into spring and summer. When you offered these clothes to me, I felt a sense of self-worth and was touched by your kindness and the generosity of the donor. I don't often receive kind gestures like this so please can you pass my sincere thanks on to the people who made this happen?
The cardigans will be well used over the years until they fall apart. I just love them. I am so grateful to Brighton Women's Center for everything you do to improve my and others' well being. The services you provide are absolutely needed and I really appreciate all you do.”
