What's On

Pre-loved fashion sales

We operate a sustainable clothing model where donated items are used to provide beautiful outfits to our Clients to support them on their journey to employment. Where the donation is surplus to current needs or not suitable for the occasion, we recycle the item via a series of vital fundraising fashion sales.

Help us open our new home in Warrawong!


Our bags are packed, but we need your support to put the finishing touches on our new Warrawong showroom to make it feel like home.


In the last 3 months our Illawarra team have seen a 110% increase in demand for our services compared to the same period last year. The good news is, we've secured a fantastic new space that's tailor-made for our mission, and we've already started the moving process. However, moving expenses are really adding up, threatening our ability to create a warm and welcoming environment for our Clients.

We urgently need to raise $10,000 to complete our fitting rooms and Client space.
