Good Causes

Here at Dress, we feel it’s important to give something back to those who need it the most. It’s a passion of ours. That’s why we’ve chosen to partner with Caudwell Children, a marvellous charity which provides life-changing support for disabled children and their families who have to cope with life-limiting illnesses every day. So every time you choose to buy or sell with Dress, you’ll be able to look in the mirror and say “I made a difference”.

Any unwanted items that we don’t sell are donated to our chosen charity shop partner, East Cheshire Hospice. East Cheshire Hospice is a warm and welcoming space for adults facing life limiting illness. They serve the communities of Macclesfield, Buxton, Congleton, High Legh, High Peak, Knutsford, Poynton, Wilmslow and the surrounding areas. Providing care, comfort and compassionate support to patients and their loved ones.

Whatever you’re going through, a Samaritan will face it with you. Their support is there 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Helping people going through a difficult time, if you are worried about someone else, in health and care, in our schools, our military and armed forces community and in the workplace.
