Birmingham Community Sharewear

24/10/2022

This support from Hazaar's University of Birmingham group was amazing. But this clothing and bedding could have stayed in the West Midlands if we had a Community Sharewear franchise here. We have the volunteers, we have the clothes. We're still looking for an organization with space in their premises for us to make a start. Could it be you? Contact our West Midlands Executive [email protected] for more details.

📣 Calling all interested in fair access to clothing 📣

Access to clothing is an economic justice as well as a human rights issue. Millions of pounds worth of clothing is wasted and this disenfranchises people from accessing much needed items.

Join our workshop on Economic Justice & the Right to Clothing. You will be introduced to the work Sharewear does, while also exploring economic justice and how to make clothing accessible to all.

It is run as a collaboration between Sharewear Clothing Scheme and the human rights charity, Journey to Justice.

It aims to raise awareness of clothing deprivation, provide clothing directly to people on the ground through Community Sharewear franchises, bring about a change in the law which better protects the right to clothing, and thus ensure that charity is not required for any individual to access adequate clothing.

On we reflect that, when the United Nations General Assembly instigated this day back in 2012, little did they think that so called 'Developed Countries' like the UK would be being kept going by the voluntary and small charity sector 10 years on. In spite of staff Leave both at Sharewear and in the organisations who refer into or take delivery from us, over 1000 people were able to access their in August, only because we exist. What if we didn't? If you can afford £1 per week, to support our work and have a big chance of the small prize each week, please consider playing our lottery --which is 2 years old today! If you sign up now there's a luxurious Staycation up for grabs too. Help us bring our service to the West Midlands.

Good luck to Emily Campbell who'll be competing in weightlifting at The Commonwealth Games today. When you're watching her on TV, remember that excelling in your sport begins with the most basic of steps, but young people across the UK can't access the chance to shine simply because they don't have basic fitness clothing. Not only does having have a negative effect on your mental and physical health, it means that people never get to fulfil their potential -- never get to become the future champions they could be.

That's why University of Birmingham students are linking us with the Commonwealth Games right NOW, to raise awareness of this issue and do something about it. Donate clothing throughout The Games at the University Library on Edgbaston campus and donate financially to our work in pubs across Digbeth.

. Everyone has the . Everyone has the potential to be a champion. 🏋️‍♀️
