  • If they need a whole wardrobe.
    Perhaps the low expectations or low paid jobs that JSA Claimants are forced into means Suitings aren't taken into account.
    Best thing is to browse the Suits online to see what suits and get in touch with the Charity.

    is that not for homeless people??
  • Maybe there must be a Charity for the unemployed. I imagine they suit up the unemployed too?

    They used to be able to get you something for an interview to wear. I dont know if its still the same though.

    The clothing grant is in the form of a voucher for £60 which is for Matalan or Evans. This is supposed to cover, shoes, black trousers and a shirt.

    Thanks for the info about fares but the link seemed to only apply for travel in London. Is there another one for other areas does anyone know because 50% off would be a great help at the moment.

    My partners bicycle has broken at the moment but dont know if i would have the nerve to ask for a new one at the JC lol. Anyone actually done this?

    i got this off my advisor, he gave me a £70 voucher to use in any Arcadia groups stores like Topshop or Dorothy Perkins when i told him my current suit didn't fit me anymore and my friend had already told me to ask for it because she had had it off them before. quite what interview clothes i was supposed to find in Topshop i don't know, but luckily Dorothy Perkins was included.
