Women’s Refuge has just opened a beautiful new boutique called Yellow Belle and people can show their support by bringing in pre-loved clothing to work to be donated.

The Telecom Foundation is collecting any special or treasured clothing items that you no longer want or need to be sold at Yellow Belle. There a giant shopping bag in the Foundation’s Yellow Level Two office where people can bring their clothing to for the next few weeks.  

Yellow Belle sells clothing that is donated to them, all proceeds from the boutique go towards helping Women’s Refuge reach out to 20,000 women and children each year and answer a crisis call every nine minutes.

Stephanie Garvey of Women’s Refuge says: “If you have a treasured item that you have felt really special and confident in, chances are that someone else will love it and want to buy it from Yellow Belle boutique”. This is a great opportunity to go through your wardrobe for items of clothing, accessories, bags, shoes and scarves that you might like to donate. Although quality garments and accessories are preferred, Yellow Belle has a distribution centre in Silverdale where more casual items are either sold to the public or donated directly to women leaving violent relationships.

Both Men and women can donate clothing as menswear can be sold at the Women’s Refuge distribution centre in Silverdale. Please note that clothes do not have to be dry-cleaned.
