Girls- have you got work suits or dresses you no longer wear?<\/p>\n
You could help a woman from a disadvantaged background get back into work.<\/p>\n
The economic recession has left many women out of work and strapped for cash. Even when they get a job interview, some ladies have nothing decent to wear- and they can’t afford to go shopping.<\/p>\n
UK charities Dress for Success and Smart Works help women who are struggling for money and lacking self confidence.<\/p>\n
Professional women donate good quality work clothes and these charities dress ladies who are in need of a smart outfit. The ladies also get coached in interviewing skills and receive a lot of encouragement.<\/p>\n
Prime Minister’s wife Samantha Cameron has backed the charities’ mission and worked as a volunteer herself. She says the support given to women in need can change their lives.<\/p>\n
"People say that employers make up their mind about a candidate in the first five minutes”, said Mrs Cameron.<\/p>\n
“If you are on a low income, have no smart clothes to wear, no interview training and no confidence, it is very hard to make that good first impression.<\/p>\n
“I’ve seen the difference those few hours make to each client’s confidence. The woman who walks out the door with a smart outfit is completely different from the woman who walked in."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
