Calverts has worked with the Tab Centre for a number of years. The Tab Centre runs a portfolio of projects aimed at helping disadvantaged and isolated people help themselves reintegrate and succeed in mainstream society.
One of these projects is Suited & Booted, a service that offers clothing and job interview advice for vulnerable and disadvantaged men in London, including the long-term unemployed, former military personnel, ex-offenders and men with HIV/AIDS – people who may be struggling and in need of support, both financial and practical.
Currently the project needs clothing – suits, jackets, trousers and ties, as well as accessories such as shoes and cufflinks. Toiletries too would be very useful.
These donations will help enormously, giving clients better prospects of success at job interviews, while contributing to their general self-confidence and self-esteem.
To donate a suit, run a "suit drive" at work, or find out more please contact Maria Lenn: maria@tabcentre.com or
call 07423 458067.
