Overview
We provide clothing and household textiles to those who are experiencing hardship. All clothing we provide is free of charge to the recipient.
Our clothing is either pre-loved donated clothing and a number of clothing manufacturers and retailers also give us their unsaleable stock.
We do this via a network of referral partners who refer people to us to self select clothing. Referral partners may also request clothing to collect on behalf of the person they are supporting. We also provide clothing via our outreach services where bulk orders of clothing are provided.
We support new born to those in their 90s and provide clothing across Nottingham and Nottinghamshire.
Clients are welcome to return to us for support on an ongoing basis subject to acquiring a new referral every three months.

Referral
Referral partners are provided with a Referral Form to complete with the person they are supporting. The form gives the option for the client to attend and choose their own clothing or for clothing to be collated for the client which the support worker will collect. The referral form asks that referrers indicate on the form which of the options are required.
For an onsite referral - If the client is attending to choose clothing themselves- Provide them with the completed physical form allowing them to attend our open drop-in style Referral Sessions at our Clothing Centre. A physical form is preferred as the client then has the information on hand about how to find us. If the referral partners is not seeing the client in person we ask that they please provide them with all of the details and email their form to us on referrals@sharewearclothingscheme.org so we have it ahead of their visit. Clients can use their referral form within two months of the issue date to attend, browse and select free of charge clothing for themselves and those on their form. Please note and advise your client that children under 14 are not permitted on site, including the grounds.
If a client cannot attend to self-select clothing and the referrer will be collecting clothing on their behalf- please email the completed form, including as much detail as possible to referrals@sharewearclothingscheme.org Our coordinator will update when the order is accepted and when the order is complete and ready to collect. They will also advise the days/times when orders can be collected from our site in Edwalton. The order is prepared as close as possible to your request depending on stock levels. If you need any more help with this process, feel free to call 03300577844 ext 1
