  • Busiest Ever Session

    On our busiest ever  session today we dealt with 13 referrals, clothing 35 people, including 19 children.  We also collected a van-full of donations from someone we helped previously and who has given back to us the clothes her children have outgrown, plus so much more. She has now lifted herself out of the crisis […]

  • Clothing Boys Again!

    Look at these two very satisfied ‘customers’ sporting their lovely clothes, including coat and shoes, from Sharewear. We were able to clothe them thanks to your response to our recent appeal for boy’s clothing.  Off site we made a big delivery to our outreach partner, Under One Roof, in Hucknall, collected a rail donated by […]

  • Sharewear Schools on Notts TV

    Another productive day, with Notts TV’s Hugh Casswell coming down to film on two sites. Firstly he filmed our launch assembly at Carlton Digby School, our newest partner in our Sharewear Schools Programme. Then they filmed at our new premises to update viewers on the progress we have been making to help even more people in Notts.  […]

  • Men Helping Boys

    Wednesdays have become very male at Sharewear. This team of four young men spent the afternoon sorting through some of the donations that have come in from our appeal for boys clothing, so that we could start to fill up our stocks of boys clothes.  It’s great to see young people involved so willingly in […]

  • Thirty Five People Clothed On Site Today

    In a non-stop session we clothed 10 families and 2 single people today, totalling 35 people on site in one session! On top of this we did a pick-up and a delivery in the van, and welcomed our 3rd group of volunteers from Space Inclusive. Ben, Jack, Matthew and Liam are pictured here with their […]

  • New Cross Community Church

    Another landmark day as we delivered to new outreach partner New Cross Community Church, in Sutton-in-Ashfield, who are also distributing our clothes to three local schools.  Not only are they the first of what we hope will be many partners in North Notts, but this was also the first ever delivery in our new van! This […]

  • New Baby, New Clothes

    It was great to have a lady come back to us today who came for new born-clothes and bedding etc in January when she was getting ready for the birth of her daughter. Today she came back to get the next size of clothes she needs for this little lady, and her other child. New babies grow […]

  • Vantastic Day at Sharewear

    A landmark day in our development as we bought a van! This was made possible by a very generous donation from a benefactor. The van will help us to reach even more people living in clothing poverty, as the number of agencies taking deliveries from us for their clients continues to rise.

  • Clothes for Ilkeston

    The three musketeers Lorraine, Linda and Teresa prepared 30 packs of clothes today for delivery to people in need in Ilkeston on Saturday. Plenty of warm clothing too, for the return to the wintery temperatures!
