Outfits owned by TV presenter Steph McGovern and other North East celebrities are to be sold at an event hosted by Smart Works Newcastle.
Smart Works Newcastle is the local arm of the charity which helps women get back into work, gain financial independence and transform their lives by providing free interview clothing and coaching. Since its launch in 2018 it has helped more than 1,000 women, including 300 this financial year alone, with around two-thirds of them going on to succeed at a job interview within a month of receiving the charity’s support.
Smartworks – which supports anyone who identifies as female, is unemployed and is over 16 – is set to host two events before the year ends, including Festive Fizz and Fashion on November 17 at John Lewis, where shoppers can snap up clothes donated by local women and retailers, as well as items straight from the wardrobes of local celebrities including Steph McGovern. 100% of proceeds go to Smart Works Newcastle.
