Smart Works is a UK-based charity with eight centres across the country, providing unemployed women with personalised styling sessions as well as one-to-one interview advice so that they can reach their full potential before an interview. In the last 10 years, the charity has supported over 30,000 women.

‘We’re delighted that, for the second consecutive year, we can bring our mission to one of London’s most renowned shopping and entertainment hubs: Covent Garden,’ said Kate Stephens, CEO of Smart Works. ‘At Smart Works, we dress and coach unemployed women for their job interview and 69 percent go on to get a job within a month. This is fashion as a force for good, and we are proud to work with much-loved brands to give an elevated shopping experience whilst raising essential funds. The need for our service has never been greater and we are thrilled to continue our important partnership with Shaftesbury Capital. Together we will help empower more women to job success.’

‘We are incredibly proud of the difference that Covent Garden can make by bringing the retail community together, delivering a positive impact for women within the UK,’ added Michelle McGrath, Executive Director at Shaftesbury Capital. ‘We’re delighted to support Smart Works once again, with their important mission of empowering unemployed women, giving them the confidence they need to reach their full potential.’
