Each year, Scottish Women in Business adopts a charity, and selected by our President in consultation with committee members.
The money, support and awareness provided by swib makes a big difference to help the chosen charity. At each event, a donation of £1 per attendee is added to the amount that swib pays to the charity at the end of the year, but there are many more ways to help! Here’s a round-up of all the ways in which we raise the money for our Charity of the Year. If you have any ideas on how swib can raise even more, please let us know using our contact form.
Charity 2025-26
swib‘s charity of the year for 2023-2025 is Dress for Success
Our aim is to empower women to achieve economic independence by providing professional clothing, a network of support and personal skills to help them thrive in work as well as in life. What Dress for Success Scotland do is so much more than simply new clothes.
Our purpose is to offer long lasting solutions that enable women towards self-sufficiency. We are passionate about empowering women to obtain better futures and that starts with financial independence which in turn leads to thriving families and communities.
As society returns to work after the COVID-19 pandemic, the role of Dress for Success Scotland is more important than in ever in supporting women who are trying to make ends meet during unprecedented challenging times.
We provide each client with professional work wear for interview or for starting their new job, but we really are about so much more than simply a new outfit. Our styling service is a personal one-to-one experience which guides clients in their selection of work appropriate clothing from the boutique – either a single interview outfit or full capsule wardrobe to take home on the day.
As well as a styling service to help style our clients with work appropriate clothing to match their needs, our personal development programmes provide the tools our clients need to actively define their life and the direction they wish to take. Dress for Success Scotland helps inspire women to shape their futures and make a positive change.
