DRESSABILITY TO SUPPORT LOCAL YOUNGSTERS

Local charity Dressability, based in Edison Business Park, Dorcan is looking to find 50 disabled children in the Swindon area to help them find their fashionable side after receiving an £8000 grant from Children in Need.


Dressability provides a dressmaking service for people with physical/learning disabilities and special needs, by providing a garment alteration and adaptation service. The Charity has developed a clothing service that provides practical support to enable individuals to wear clothes that accommodate their lifestyle. Whatever physical challenges you face Dressability can help tailor your clothing so that getting dressed and wearing clothes becomes an everyday routine rather than a daily problem!

Young people like to look stylish and cool, as they don’t want to be seen as different from anyone else. This boosts their confidence, self-esteem and at the same time helps them to keep their independence.

Dressability offer a free home visiting service with free collection/delivery in Swindon and the surrounding areas. Prices are affordable and start from £5 to £20 (a quote can be provided for more complicated work). For an appointment please call the below telephone number.

Contact details: Tel 01793 512878.They are open Monday to Friday, 10-00am to 3.00pm (please call to make an appointment).
