We always welcome volunteers, no matter how much time they are able to give. Our volunteer services are chiefly divided into two; dressmakers and administrators.
Dressmakers We are always keen to hear from experienced dressmakers who have a morning to spare once a week to help us with our various community projects. A good standard of dressmaking is required and in return we can offer you the chance to work on some really worthwhile projects. You will volunteer alongside like-minded people, all who have an interest in sewing and crafts.
Administrators Our volunteer service also extends to help with our administration and events organising.
Dressability is a friendly and welcoming independent charity which supports the clothing needs of individuals with disabilities and those with limited dexterity. A registered charity established in 1998, Dressability offers heavily subsidised alterations to those who need our support.
We provide a personal, tailored and bespoke service developing practical solutions to everyday problems. By adapting people’s clothing and not their style, we enable our clients to maintain their independence, and enjoy a sense of wellbeing based on their own personal choice. From hems to haberdashery, a personal, tailored and bespoke service is provided, focused on the development of practical and innovative solutions to everyday problems.
Our service is provided on a personal basis sensitive to the specific needs of those we help. Clients are welcome to visit us at our fully accessible premises and for those who lack transport, provision of an outreach service is available. Our opening hours are generally from 9am until 3pm although it is advisable to contact us to make an appointment.
Anyone can self-refer themselves to become a client of Dressability; individuals do not need to have a disability to access our service. We always try our best to ensure our approach is open and supportive to those who are wondering if we can help them through our service.
