Charity store helps recovering addicts gain crucial life skills and rebuild their lives.
Jeans, jumpers, and coats are there, along with t-shirts. Clothes get organized by size and hang on racks at the Loughborough store. Clients pick clothes for themselves while also learning valuable skills like washing, ironing, and clothing care.
The charity’s leader, Richard Spence, says men often arrive with little stuff, many having few clothes. The clothes shop gives them clothing, and new arrivals get clean clothes to wear. They get clothes during their program stay. Residents change shape as they get healthy, rebuilding their health as time passes. They can swap clothes for different sizes for a better fit.
The charity needs clothes donations, as well as rails and hangers. Irons and ironing boards would help too. You can call 01509 767550 to donate.
