Award-winning ‘tech for good’ social enterprise Give Your Best provides refugee women and children the dignity of choosing their own clothes, with its first-of-a-kind circular free shopping and donation platform.
Give Your Best is an award-winning, tech-for-good social enterprise offering the first circular platform where people and brands can donate clothes so that refugees and other communities living in clothing poverty can shop online for free, with the choice and dignity they deserve.
Give Your Best is on a mission to tackle clothing poverty while improving circularity in the fashion industry by reducing waste, by partnering with brands and businesses to achieve their sustainability and social impact goals.
Give Your Best was selected by the British Fashion Council as one their Future of Fashion innovations of 2023 and by Ebay as one of the winners of their Circular Fashion Fund and has received funding from the UK Research and Innovation agency., and has been featured in The Guardian and Vogue.
Since launch, over 35,000 items have been shopped by thousands of families, women and children.
Founder quote, Sol Escobar: “We believe that someone’s legal status and financial circumstances shouldn’t mean a lack of choice in what they want to wear. At Give Your Best, a donation becomes a gift: the gift of choice, of empowerment and connection with the person sending the item.”
Service user quotes:
‘On behalf of the girls who live with me and on my behalf as well, we want to thank you for such impressive work and above all because they give us hope knowing that there are still people with huge hearts who support people who come to this country in search of help, knowing that in our countries we are in danger.’
‘Thank you for this wonderful service and community. The lovely cards and messages. We don’t feel alone anymore’
I love to choose clothes in the colour purple, in my culture that is the colour of strength and dignity, of a woman who is not afraid of the future. I try to choose these clothes to feel strong and remind myself that I am not my circumstances.
