About this cause

Smart Works Greater Manchester is a UK charity that provides high quality interview clothes, styling advice and interview training to women in need. We give women the confidence, the self-belief and the practical tools they require to succeed at interview and start a new chapter of their life. At the core of our service is a dressing and interview appointment. During their visit, each woman receives a high-quality interview outfit (theirs to keep). This short intervention has a significant impact as our clients start believing in their own ability to succeed. We are incredibly proud that Smart Works Greater Manchester have seen 400 women who have experienced our service since opening in June 2015, and on average over 60% of who we have contacted have go on to get the job!
