SUSTAINABLE FASHION WEEK

UNITING THE COMMUNITY TO TAKE ACTION AND CHANGE FASHION FROM THE BOTTOM UP

WHAT DO WE DO

We make sustainable fashion accessible.

Taking a grassroots approach, we help to empower people with skills and resources to help drive a positive shift in our collective relationship with clothes. 

We explore the different ways people can take action for a better fashion future, no matter their background or budget.

HOW DO WE DO IT

We are network builders.

We bring together organisations, brands, makers and activists working to change fashion, building a powerful collective and amplifying their work.

We deliver an annual programme of activity designed to inspire, upskill and resource the ordinary citizen.

WE ARE ‘C2C’

SFW is community-led for community benefit.

We believe in the power of sharing values and activating change at a grassroots level. We work with a ‘c2c’ approach: community to community; consumer to consumer, citizen to citizen.

This is about you! Be part of our growing #SFWcommunity.
