Birmingham Suit Amnesty Friday 12th October 2007


What did you wear to the interview to get your job?

I’m pretty sure you wore a suit! I’m also fairly sure you will probably have at least one suit sitting in your wardrobe gathering dust.

Well how about donating this suit to someone who could truly benefit from it?


Birmingham Suit Amnesty – Friday 12th October 2007

On Friday 12th October 2007 we people from across the business community in Birmingham to donate any suits they no longer require. These suits are going to be collected at the ICC (Hall 6). They will then be distributed through our charity partners to people who will benefit from your suit.

It may just help someone to make the right impression at a job interview.

Your suit may benefit:

• A school leaver trying to get their first job
• An unemployed individual trying to get back into work
• A homeless person trying to get a foot back on the employment ladder

Are you willing to make the simple gesture of donating a suit to help someone not as fortunate as you get a step up in life?

Many companies across Birmingham are going to be arranging for suits to be collected throughout the week of the Amnesty (8th – 12th October) and these suits can then either be dropped off at the ICC from 07.30 – 15.00 - or we can arrange for the suits to be collected by our dry cleaning partner Mail Wash.

If you wish to locate your companies Champion or volunteer to act as a Champion for this initiative simply email: graham.nicoll@barclays.com.

If you are a charity wishing to get involved then simply call Fidelis Hynam on 07739 728566.

Make sure you put any suits aside ready for the suit amnesty.
