Supporter Magazine: Autumn 2022

Clothed in confidence

Access to clothing is a basic human right. The way we feel about ourselves is often directly linked to our appearance. Circumstances and disadvantage should not prevent people from accessing new clothes that make them feel good – something most of us take for granted. By donating to the Thread Together program, you will help to provide brand new clothes to those experiencing disadvantage. – Oars – supporting community transitions through crime prevention – Junction Community Centre – working in community engagement.

Many people have stories like Eric, where they simply just need a short- term helping hand. Clothing from Thread Together is more than a new outfit – it helps grow an individual’s confidence as they re-engage with their community. In the four years since the program started, we have helped over 10,000 individuals by providing essential items such as new shoes and brand new clothes. * Names and identity have been changed to protect privacy.

Thread Together saves new clothing from going to landfill, instead giving it to people in need. Our Thread Together team receives referrals from many different services and agencies, including: – AnglicareSA’s Emergency Assistance and the Magdalene Centre

One of the recent beneficiaries of AnglicareSA’s Thread Together program was *Eric. Eric first turned to AnglicareSA when he was experiencing homelessness. He had no possessions other than the clothes he was wearing. The team at the Thread Together Hub gave Eric new clothes, shoes, socks, and underwear to help him get back on his feet.
