Thousands of new clothes saved from landfill by charity

Dressability mainly alters clothing for people with disabilities, but launched its rebranding project after receiving coats that would otherwise have gone to waste.

“We started the rebranding project after getting a delivery of coats from a company that ceased trading,” said Tombs.

“I was concerned that we were throwing away brand new coats, so we sensitively patched and improved them, covering the branding, and the project went from there.”

Once altered, the clothing is then donated to people in need.

“Plus it’s about sustainability, because our work prevents these items from going to landfill,” said Tombs.
