Volunteer with FTCT
Whether it’s trade shows, award ceremonies, industry events or fundraising days- the Fashion & Textile Children’s Trust (FTCT) takes part in events throughout the year, to help promote the support we can give.
Volunteering with FTCT gives you the perfect opportunity to meet new people, develop new skills and to help raise the profile of our wonderful charity at the same time. To download FTCT’s Volunteering Mission Statement, please click here.

We regret that FTCT are unable to accept applications from volunteers under the age of 16yrs.
Can’t spare the time from home to join one of our events? Don’t worry, there are still plenty of ways for you to help FTCT from home. Whether it’s putting FTCT button badges onto contact cards, putting up posters in your local supermarket, library, school or doctors surgery or telling all your friends and family about the support we can give- the Fashion & Textile Children’s Trust needs you!
We will send you posters and contact cards to distribute around your local area and a handy fact sheet, containing information about our charity, including the stories of children we have helped, to get you started.
Interested? Then please contact Jill on 020 7170 4117 or jill@ftct.org.uk to find out more.
Regretfully the Fashion & Textile Children’s Trust is not able to refund any personal expenses incurred by volunteers through their involvement with the Fashion & Textile Children’s Trust, including travel and refreshments.
