Get your workplace involved

Team wardrobe day
If your workplace offers you an annual charity volunteering day or quota of hours, come and spend time at Smart Works.

We offer bespoke team volunteering opportunities in our centres, supporting our service delivery and ensuring a positive experience for our clients. No day at Smart Works is the same, but volunteering often includes sorting incoming donations, merchandising and curating stock and helping us prepare for our famous Fashion Sales. We occasionally have opportunities to support client coaching or virtual sessions for our Network members – a community of past clients who have successfully secured employment.

We ask for a payment of £500 + VAT for group volunteering sessions. In return, we provide the unique opportunity for employees to work together, while making a tangible difference for our clients. It’s your chance to see the Smart Works service in action and help us support our clients to the best standard.
Take on a challenge as a team.
Taking on a challenge with your workplace is the perfect way to fundraise for Smart Works. Raise vital funds to help empower women for job success whilst bonding with your team.
