What does fashion waste look like?

fashion industry, and increase access to

clothing for people with insecure

immigration status.

I just want to give my gratitude to Thread Ahead. I was well received and supported more than I expected with what I was struggling looking for. It really met my needs.

Keep going, it makes people happy, and I'm one of them.

This meant more than words could express for the women who received them; these gifts were not only practical but gave them hope, faith and comfort, giving them a sense of being seen and cared.

We work with a lot of young people, and your work reminds them that they are still young people, who want to look nice and don't just have to operate in survival mode.

Last year, it was quite difficult to find good quality, warm clothing for my client in the South London area. When my client attended, he really enjoyed the space created by the team and was happy with the quality of the clothes he left with.

Thread Ahead saves surplus stock, providing clothes, toiletries and accessories to refugees and asylum seekers. People with insecure immigration status (like refugees and asylum seekers) often have poor access to clothes. They may be offered low quality items which are second hand, heavily used and don’t fit.
