A FASHION sale is set to take place in Reading this week in aid of a charitable cause in Berkshire.
Smart Works Reading is holding its Autumn Fashion Sale, bringing preloved designer and high-street clothing to Reading Minster.
Proceeds from the sale provide critical funding for Smart Works’ services helping unemployed women in Berkshire, which includes providing interview outfits and coaching to help those it supports gain the confidence and skills needed to secure employment.
More than 1,500 women have been supported by the Reading arm of the charity, 69% of whom go on to get a job within a month of their appointment.
The charity, established in 2015, also has branches in London, Manchester, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Birmingham, Newcastle, and Leeds, and even offers online support to those outside of those areas.
Alex Williams, Fundraising Trustee, Smart Works Reading said of the sale: “After the success of our summer sale at Reading Minster, we’re delighted to be returning for our latest sale.
“It’s such a great, central location and means that more people will be able to access the incredible fashion bargains we have on the rails For anyone who is interested in fashion at incredible prices, come along to grab high quality preloved fashion and some amazing new-with-labels bargains.
“The Smart Works Reading Fashion Sale is easy on your wallet and your conscience – all items are donated to us by brands and individuals, and proceeds from the sale helps to fund our vital service supporting local unemployed women into work.”
Early Bird tickets to the event’s first hour are available, before the doors are open to the general public.

The event opens at 10.30am, with admittance for those without Early Bird tickets from 11.30am.
