SHOPAHOLICS can pick up a bargain in a charity fashion sale coming to Reading later this month.
Smart Works, which helps women get back into work by offering interview coaching and clothing, is holding a sale of new and pre-loved clothes from designer labels and high street names, with prices starting at £5.
There will be clothes, shoes and accessories from brands including Boden, LK Bennett and Reiss. Other labels include Cos, Winser London, Hobbs and Hope London.
There will also be some designer pieces donated by individuals, including pieces from Prada and Maje.
The sale, on Saturday, November 19 between 9.30am and 1pm, takes place at the charity’s base in London Street, and entry is by ticket, costing £5.
Early bird tickets, offering advance entry, cost £15, and payment for goods can be made by cash and card.
Amanda Bayley, Smart Works Reading’s centre manager, said: “We’re so excited about our winter fashion sale.
“These events are always
a big hit with local shoppers and tickets are already selling fast.
“The sales are a great way for people to support the work we do and bag a guilt-free fashion bargain at the same time.”
She added: “All proceeds from the sale go straight back into our service to support women in our community who need a helping hand when it comes to getting back to work.”
Smart Works Reading works with 147 referral agencies to support women most needing practical support in their job search. Women can be referred to the organisation for a free interview outfit once they have secured an interview and one-to-one coaching session, to build confidence and practical skills.
The service can be accessed by anyone who identifies as female, is unemployed and is based in the Berkshire region.
