Recent research from The King’s Trust revealed over half (58 per cent) of unemployed young women feel hopeless about their future, with a third (32 per cent) feeling they are going to fail in life. The Trust supports young women to gain skills, confidence and practical experience on their journey to employment, as well as providing mentorship and practical help such as covering childcare and travel costs.
Trinny Woodall, founder and CEO of Trinny London Beauty and long-standing supporter of The King’s Trust, has assembled a powerhouse committee including Mary Homer and Change a Girl’s Life Founder, Chrissie Rucker, and said:
“I am delighted to launch this Ultimate Designer Sale in aid of the Change a Girl’s Life campaign for The King’s Trust. I am so proud to support its work helping young women who are most in need to build the skills and confidence to have brighter futures. Taking place at the Vinyl Factory in Soho, and in conjunction with eBay, people can come and discover items from some formidable brands, as well as from the incredible wardrobes of our celebrity supporters – all at discounted prices, for a phenomenal cause.”
Kirsty Keoghan, Senior Director of European Fashion at eBay, added:
“We’re incredibly proud to be partnering with The King’s Trust and Trinny Woodall on the Ultimate Designer Sale - a fashion-forward initiative that combines style with purpose. As the home of pre-loved branded fashion, eBay is championing circularity by giving quality items a second life, and this event perfectly demonstrates how resale can make designer fashion more accessible while supporting a meaningful cause. Whether shopping in person or online through our dedicated eBay store, customers will not only discover exceptional designer pieces but also help support young women across the UK to build brighter futures.”
