Our free employment dressing program supports Waikato women to succeed in work and life.

Hamilton, Waikato

Clothes have the power to transform not only the way we think about ourselves but how others see us too.

Sadly, for many women, not having the right clothes to wear is a simple but real barrier to gaining employment.

At Dress for Success Hamilton, we offer a free employment dressing programme gifting Waikato women suitable work clothes so they can show up confidently at their interview or a new job. It is a simple but powerful gift that can help women on their path to success. We love how the right outfit can put a big smile on a woman’s face and instantly boost her self-esteem.

Our personalised styling experience treats women with dignity and respect, making them feel special and valued. We want them to walk out of our dressing room with a new sense of confidence and self-belief. Women often put everyone else's needs before their own, so our service is an important reminder to them that they matter too!

We also provide support through our Career Hub with one-on-one sessions assisting women with CVs, cover letters, mock interviews or career planning. Next year, we will expand our services to include career and employment workshops for our clients.

With your help, we can support more Waikato women on their way to success. A simple hand-up, when needed, makes such a difference to the women we support. Your donation, big or small, helps us to provide the powerful gift of confidence to Waikato women looking for employment.

Latest update

Every bit counts!  13 November 2023

We've updated our goal as we know that money can be tight at this time of year.

This new balance will allow us to purchase clothes for our boutique when we have gaps in our clothing donations i.e. we can struggle to get enough 16+ size clothes so we have to purchase some from time to time. This ensures our service is accessible to every woman no matter her clothing size.

2% Effective Fee
On average, fundraisers pay just 2% to use Givealittle. This is one of the lowest effective fees in New Zealand fundraising. We charge a 5% platform fee to cover the cost of running the platform. Because most donors choose to top up their donation to cover this fee, the effective cost paid by fundraisers is about 2%. That means around 98 cents of every dollar raised goes to the cause.
