John Lewis & Partners is proud to have helped create The Smart Set, a workwear capsule collection for Smart Works supported by their patron, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Sussex.
Smart Works is a national charity empowering women to get back in business and has an office in Stockport.
“EMPOWER ANOTHER WOMAN AND BE PART OF HER SUCCESS STORY. NOT A HANDOUT, A HAND HELD”
HRH The Duchess Of Sussex, Patron of Smart Works
Launched at an event at John Lewis, Oxford Street in London the new range is supported by John Lewis & Partners in Cheadle and are planning a number of events over the next few months to help raise awareness and funds for the charity.
“John Lewis and Partners Cheadle are delighted to be supporting Smart Works and to help have a positive impact on these women’s lives. We all feel more confident when we look good and it’s so rewarding to be able to play a part in this. John Lewis and Partners Cheadle look forward to supporting Smart Works locally going forwards.”
Denise Crosswaite, Operations Manger John Lewis and Partners Cheadle
Smart Works relies on high-quality donations, and John Lewis & Partners has been an official partner since autumn 2018. The retailer has pledged garments from its womenswear collection as well as the participation of its Partners, who keenly volunteer across its services.
Kate Stephens, CEO of Smart Works ‘What this means to our clients is that a brand like John Lewis & Partners cares about and believes in them,’ says Kate. ‘One of the things that we’re so passionate about is harnessing this goodwill to help a woman at a crucial time in her life.’
Members of Smart Works came into the Cheadle store to chat with the customers about the range and the new Smart Set Tote.
