r¢sponsibiliti¢s accordingly.
Volunteers
Our volunteer sewing sessions are held four days a week. During this year there have been a total of 1203 hours
volunteered by our dressmakers, with projects including de-branding of winter coats and jackets for the homeless,
treatment gowns for the Radiotherapy department at Maidstone hospital and washable sanitary towel packs for a school
in Ghana. The volunteers continue lo make various items to sell at events raising funds for the charity. During this year
our volunteers have Completed 42 projects and donated 585 items to those in need.
To thank our volunteers for their fantastic contribution, we held a Volunteers Week lunch in early June, and a
Chrislmas buff¢t lunch in D¢c¢mber. One volunteer gain¢d a 5 year service badge with a further 2 volunte¢rs gaining 2
year service badges. We are proud to say that we now have 9 volunteers wilh more than 5 years of service. Volunteers

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities
We started the year with a visit from the Rt Hon Robert Buckland KC MP who ha5 SUPPOrted us for many years.
was very interestcd in th¢ work that we hav¢ b¢¢n doing and look th¢ opportunity to sp¢ak with th¢ sthff and learn about
our innovaiions and achievements.
Sharon Tombs, our long-standing manager of 12 years stood down in May and lh¢ post was taken temporarily by a
Stephen Gray a former trustee. Sharon remains committed ￿ Dressability offcring support and guidance on a part-time
basis.
In June we attended Swindon's Panathlon Challenge, a sports day for children with disabilities. This wa5 3tt¢nd¢d by
trustee Nicky and 2 of our volunteers. It was a great opportunity to showcase our alterations and adaptations and hav¢ a
photograph with our new Mayor.
July brought a new challenge when a wish granting charity asked us to make a very special prom dress for their 18 year
old client. Two of our long-standing volunteers designed and made a lovely dress that the young lady could feel very
special in and was suitable to wear in her wheelchair.
In September members of our Thursday volunleer group went to the Prospect Café to deliver green aprons made by
them for the hospice's catering volunteers. It is a privilege to support the valuable work of our local hospice. We were
really grateful to have had the fabric donated to us by a local company.
October saw Dressability mentioned in the Daily Mirror by Dr Miriam, in response to a question raised about having
clothes adapted to fit changing body shapes. Great to have some National recognition and publicity.
Reduce. reuse, recycle. We continue to provide de-branding services. where we accept surplus branded gannents from
businesses, remove/cover their branding, and deliver to local charities
often supporting homelessness
$0 those in
need are able to have access to garnients free of charge. In March 2025 we teamed up with Swindon Lions to expand
this project and deliver these winter coats to Bristol Outreach Service.
