Most clothes don't get binned because they're worn out, they do because the people holding them have no use for them anymore. Dress for Success is a women's charity in Glasgow: we dress women for interviews and work whilst helping them into employment. We're donated mountains of clothing, sorting and quality-checking each bag. All donations are lovely and wearable but sadly things we can't use due to it not being work-appropriate or it being menswear. It gets passed charity-to-charity or quietly thrown out. That feels absurd when so many people across Glasgow would need it, or just want it. This project turns that surplus into something good. I want to do an event once a month at our Bath Street space, anyone can come and take what they need, no questions, no cost. Leave a donation if you can that goes straight back to the charity; if you can't, you take what you came for and that's the whole transaction. In crisis or homeless always take for free. On a separate day each month I'll run a free mending workshop, the small skills that keep clothes alive: a button, a hem, a patch. No experience needed, anyone welcome. Plus set up a small Mending Library, needles, threads, buttons etc. people can borrow or take home with them. The £500 is a seed. As word spreads I hope clothing and materials can be gifted by other organisations and individuals interested in collaborating, so the project can sustains itself keeping good things, and good people, going. I spend my life making things from what other people overlook, ash, weeds, offcuts, the stuff headed for the bin. Awesome to me is refusing to accept that something good is rubbish just because nobody's found a use for it yet. That's true of a torn jacket and it's true of people. This is that belief turned into a monthly act: rescue the good stuff, give it away freely, teach the skill to keep it alive, and trust the city to keep it going. I'm stubborn, I work fast, and I can't walk past a bin of good clothes and do nothing.
