The charity will use the funds to help unemployed women all over Scotland who are looking for work.
The guests will hear from Jane Shepherdson, CBE, previous CEO of Whistles and Brand Director of Top Shop, who will chat with Smart Works founder Lady Juliet Hughes-Hallett on sustainability and fast fashion.

All services are volunteer led and help women to reach their potential and secure a new job. The dressing and coaching service assists women referred to the service from Job Centres and other bodies to be the best they can be.
