Donation Drive for Dress for Success Northern Ireland

#EmbracingEquity: Catalyst Dress For Success Northern Ireland Donation Drive

Imagine if your fabulous suits and other professional apparel could furnish a woman with the confidence to enter or return to the workplace, make a great first impression, and land a job that could change her life.

With the International Women’s Day 2023 theme of #EmbracingEquity, Catalyst’s focus on inclusive innovation, and Dress for Success Northern Ireland’s purpose, it seemed like a natural fit to join things together for good.

Over the next 4 weeks, Catalyst is running a donation drive for Dress to Success within its on-campus community. They are asking for member companies and individual donations of gently used, nearly new professional attire for women and/or a monetary contribution.

The support will enable Dress to Success to provide services that inspire women to take charge of their lives with a mission to empower them to achieve economic independence through a network of support, professional attire, and the development tools to help women thrive in work and in life.
