  • The last young girl I dressed, left bursting with confidence saying ‘I’m going to nail this job now’! I often get a tear in my eye when that happens.

  • Volunteering with Fitted for Work is a most rewarding experience. There is no better way to feel good about yourself than helping others. You will work along side passionate and caring women who do want to make a contribution to another person’s life in whatever way they can. The clients of Fitted for Work are very grateful for any and all assistance and to be part of their empowerment is at times overwhelmingly satisfying.

  • As a volunteer for Fitted for Work, it has given me much pleasure to offer support to women who are trying to return back into the workforce. I get a real buzz from seeing the potential in these wonderful women who are on a positive journey of change and the look on their faces when they see themselves transformed in front of a mirror. I am also happy to have found a great charity that I can donate my business clothing samples to. Giving back has empowered me!
