Sharewear appoints award-winning Nottingham Menswear designer Ash Gangotra as our first ever Ambassador
We are absolutely thrilled to announce that award winning menswear fashion designer, entrepreneur and brand owner Ash Gangotra joins Sharewear Clothing Scheme today as our first ever Ambassador. Being Nottingham born and bred, just like us, Ash’s vast experience in the fashion and textiles industry, as well as his strong pedigree with both local and international charities, entrepreneurial skills and his network of associates, make him the perfect person to join Team Sharewear as we approach our tenth birthday next March.
Sharewear Clothing Scheme – Chairperson
We are seeking a Chair to the Board of Trustees at Sharewear Clothing Scheme – an award-winning charity that aims to alleviate clothing poverty by providing clothing and bedding to those that need it.
This is an exciting time to join our charity. Established in 2014, Sharewear Clothing Scheme has supported nearly 80,000 of people in need, and receives referrals from over 250 organisations. Since January 2022, the charity has diverted 87 Tonnes of clothing from landfill. The charity has grown from a volunteer led organisation to having a small team of employees. Over the last few years, we have seen a huge growth in demand for our services. We need to continue to develop and innovate to meet this increase in demand, as well as attract funding and support to sustain our work.
Our new Chair will have a passion for our work and the skills to contribute to the good governance of the organisation as we develop and grow as a charity. They will support us to develop our services, to achieve financial sustainability and to develop strategies that make a positive difference to the lives of the people who use Sharewear Clothing Scheme.
If you are interested in applying to be our next Chair, please review the role description below:

Sharewear Co-Founds the Right to Clothing Campaign
After establishing the Right to Clothing Network in our Clothing Poverty Awareness Week back in June, the Campaign itself got underway with a brilliant event at the University of Manchester on 22nd September 2022. The Right to Clothing Campaign has been co-founded by Sharewear and the Project for Peace and Justice, working with human rights and destitution researcher Dr Luke Graham. We aim to work towards a day when everyone has fair access to the Right to Clothing, whilst at the same time resurrecting recognition of this forgotten Human Right and taking action on the amount of clothing going to landfill or being incinerated.
