A good luck message from Laura
Ahead of the competition launch, Laura Hamilton had these words of encouragement for everyone taking part.
I’m delighted to be launching The Children’s Trust’s ‘Dress to impress for less’ competition this January. I love shopping in charity shops – everything you buy has had its own life before it even catches your eye, and then you get to create your own exciting memories with it. What’s more, you get to support a brilliant cause while giving your wardrobe a sustainable refresh.
The Children’s Trust is very close to my heart. The level of care the charity provides for children with brain injury and neurodisability is inspiring. I love that by shopping in their charity shops I get to support these children and their families when they need it most. Good luck everyone, I can’t wait to see what gems you discover!

Our Head of Retail, Julie Beames, also added:
We’re excited to kick start the new year with our very first ‘Dress to impress for less’ challenge with the incredible Laura Hamilton. We can’t wait to welcome people from our local communities – and beyond – into our shops for a memorable shopping experience, outfit inspiration from our treasure
trove of clothes and accessories and the chance to win great prizes. Every purchase will also make a big difference to the children and families we support. Good luck everyone and happy shopping!
