Dress for Success Western Australia is a charity that empowers women. With over 100 volunteers, the organisation provides women with work-appropriate attire, job support mentoring, access to career development and workshops, along with a supportive network to enable them to achieve financial independence.
Lotterywest is proud to support the expansion of Dress for Success’ professional styling and career program to meet increased demand, with a $288,000 Lotterywest grant.
According to volunteer stylist Gail Barbera, every woman that comes through the doors has their own inspiring story, each seeking a fresh start, "whether it is looking for employment, being released from prison, making a court appearance or fleeing domestic violence, our clients come to us seeking a new beginning for themselves and their children that is better than the one they have."
"You can see the transformation in them straight away. We love providing that support and we love to see women achieve great things in life.
“Thanks to Lotterywest, this new space is helping our clients to feel safe and valued when they are often at their most vulnerable."
That's the difference a Lotterywest grant makes – all thanks to you playing Lotterywest games.
