ROSEBUD based charity Clothes4U is taking the stress out of looking professional on a budget, providing students and people looking for work with quality clothes at low or no cost.
Prices are low, but quality is not.
There are suits, race day wear and hats, dresses, designer brands and clothes for most occasions.
Charity president Tina Donahue said buying new clothes that were suitable for employment situations was sometimes out of reach for students or people looking to join the workforce.
Donahue said clients who come to Clothes4U were given a one-on-one consultation, taking into account their body shape, likes and dislikes and the reason for needing clothing.
“We act as their personal stylist, and a lot our work involved providing clothes for people facing disadvantage, going to court, school meetings, special occasions and much more,” she said.
“We are a charity, and we take the pressure off people who need to look well-dressed but don’t necessarily have the budget.
“The majority of our clients also need everyday clothing – many have only the clothes on their back.”
The not-for-profit relies on donations and holds monthly clothing sales open to the public to help raise money to cover its overheads, including rent.
Clothes4U is at shops 5 and 6, 35 Wanneaue Place, Rosebud. Phone 0490 058 596.
