OUR services
Here’s how we work
We specialise in creating tailored clothing solutions for individuals who face challenges sourcing suitable and affordable clothing due to factors such as shape, size, proportion, mobility issues, or learning disabilities. Whether it’s bespoke garments or alterations to existing items, we aim to provide clothing that perfectly fits both the individual’s body and lifestyle.
Personalised Designs: We consult with each client on design, colour, and fabric to ensure the final garment reflects their preferences and needs.
Fitting & Delivery Options: Measurements are taken, and fittings are arranged as needed before completion. For those unable to visit us in person, we offer a convenient postal service and remote consultations via phone or email.

Why Our Work Matters
For many of our clients, dressing or undressing independently is not an option, making daily routines challenging and time-consuming. Our custom designs and skilled alterations provide practical, life-changing solutions that make dressing easier and more efficient, ultimately enhancing their quality of life.
How We’re Funded
We are entirely self-funded and receive no government support. Our ability to continue offering this vital service relies on the generosity of charitable trusts, donors, and our community. Every donation, big or small, directly contributes to creating these much-needed clothing solutions.
How You Can Help
Creating and delivering custom garments is labour-intensive, with some items requiring days of careful craftsmanship. To ensure we can keep supporting disabled individuals across the country, we invite you to join us in making a difference. Whether through donations, volunteering, or spreading the word, your assistance is invaluable and deeply appreciated.
We’re on a mission of big changes. To help people who need it most.
Our innovative and bespoke designs and alterations transform the lives of hundreds of disabled individuals each year. We not only support their independence and daily routines, but also ease the lives of those who care for them. Join us in making a difference and helping even more people.
