Clothing Bank

About the project

For several years, the Pankracy Foundation has been running the Clothing Bank project in close cooperation with the First Job Support Programme Foundation. Our activities support young people becoming independent after leaving children's homes, foster families and families facing complex difficulties, who for various reasons face a more difficult start to their working lives than their peers. Together, we help them enter the job market.

Our work through the Clothing Bank project

The Clothing Bank project has been running since 2019. As part of it:

we run the “In Good Style for Your First Job” workshops across Poland,

a permanent Clothing Bank operates in Warsaw, where young people can choose outfits for a job interview or their first weeks at work (free of charge, of course),

we organise occasional business-clothing collections.

Our mission

The Clothing Bank is a social initiative supporting young people facing difficult life circumstances.

Thanks to our Partners:

we provide expert support (workshops, lectures, individual online meetings and styling sessions),
we source clothing, accessories and cosmetics for young people.

Benefits for participants
