Partnership to support women

Ku-ring-gai Council has partnered with charity Dress for Success to support women on their path to employment and financial independence.

Through professional clothing, career support and development tools, Dress for Success helps women build confidence and take the next step toward economic security.

Council is encouraging the Ku-ring-gai community to get behind the cause by donating high-quality, professional clothing and accessories during a month-long clothing drive.

Ku-ring-gai Mayor Christine Kay said the initiative was a practical and effective way to support women striving for independence and economic security.

“I encourage everyone to look inside their wardrobe, because even a single item could help a woman in need. I’ll be donating pieces from mine and together we can make a meaningful difference,” Mayor Kay said.

“You can help change a woman’s life with the gift of confidence. Your donation is more than clothing, it’s the first step toward opportunity, self-sufficiency and empowerment.”

Dress for Success supports women navigating vulnerable life stages, from preparing for interviews to re-entering the workforce. Through styling sessions, career mentoring, and ongoing programs, they help women build confidence and transform their lives.
