The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileWe’re all feeling the pinch from sky-high bills and pricey groceries? Imagine adding job-hunting and unemployment woes to the mix. Our charity is feeling the squeeze too and we need your help!
Picture this: mums skipping meals to feed their families or walking miles for an appointment with us because bus fare is a luxury. They're facing a silent battle to secure jobs while juggling dark homes and growling bellies.
Now, here's where you swoop in! Can you sacrifice a little to fundraise and help job seekers into employment?
We know that our unemployed candidates often go without meals and other basics we take for granted as they cannot afford them.
The idea is to commit to give up something during the week commencing Monday 11th March – 28th March and in doing so put ourselves partly in the shoes of the unemployed. Raising sponsorship for your efforts will directly support Suited for Success in helping our candidates back into employment. Every £1,250 raised will contribute £15,000 in social value to Birmingham by helping us to help someone find work.
Can you sacrifice meals for 24 hours or ditch that daily latte and donate to help us lift someone out of unemployment? Maybe trading your four wheels for two feet could make a difference.
Gather your work team, family, and friends, or go solo. Get sponsored, and let the fundraising fun to support Suited for Success begin!
We want to make it as easy as possible for as many people to get involved and support this fundraiser. You can choose the exact nature and timing of your activity but have come up with the following for you to pick from.
**Give Up to Lift Up: 24-Hour Fast**
Our main sponsored activity is a 24-hour fast based upon the fact that many of our clients often have to go without meals. Time your fast to take place between 11th March – 28th March.
**Give Up to Lift Up: Ditch the Car and Walk**
Challenge yourself to a week without using your car and walking everywhere would be good for your health and would highlight an aspect of poverty our candidates have to deal with. Ditch your car and walk between 11th March - 28th March.
**Give Up to Lift Up: Your Daily Coffee Trip**
A week without coffee is not a huge sacrifice to make but if used to raise funds will help people into employment. Can you swap your regular coffeeshop purchases for a week to a jar of instant and fundraise for Suited for Success?
If there is something you feel particularly passionate about or would suit your fundraising efforts better then feel free to do this. It could be a sponsored silence for 24 hours or there may be some activity that you wish to do between 11th – 28th March and can raise sponsorship.
For every £50 raised, you're not just donating – you're gifting a coaching session and a great interview outfit to a client to make that first impression count for that crucial job interview.
Snap some pics and share your fundraising activities on social media, and be sure to tag us in your posts!
Let's spread the love and make a real impact together!
I am immensely grateful for the positive impact Suited for Success has had on my job-seeking journey. If you are looking for a place that combines interview coaching with professional attire assistance, look no further. Suited for Success is the place where preparation meets opportunity.
Amazing service provided! The coaching session gave me very helpful tips to ace my interview and I was provided with a very nice suit afterwards. Great experience overall. I managed to get the job!
They gave me the dignity I had let slip away from my life. I stared at myself in the mirror and tearfully remembered the person that confronted me. Thank you again.
