The Fashion & Textile Children's Trust big review of the year!

Before we start, just a quick note to say we know we’ve been a bit quiet on this front recently. We’ve had a few comings and goings over the last few months, so things have been a bit up in the air! But things are now falling nicely into place so, after this end-of-the-year round-up, we will be picking up our regular newsletters in 2019. So keep an eye out for all your favourite FTCT news!
The Fashion & Textile Children's Trust big review of the year!

Another year is drawing to a close, and hopefully you’re looking forward to a restorative few days with family and friends. Like many, this time of year finds us in a reflective mood, so we’ve decided to look over the past 12 months, both in the wider world and here at FTCT headquarters!
Anna is climbing Kilimanjaro!

My name's Anna and I'm the Director of the Fashion & Textile Children's Trust. I'm climbing Africa's highest mountain, Kilimanjaro, in February to raise money for the hundreds of families who turn to use for help every year.
Angela, Ellie & Catherine

Angela, an M&S employee for 7 years, applied for an FTCT grant when she faced house repossession.

Our Trustees

We are fortunate to have the generous support of our Trustees who give their time voluntarily to govern the charity.
Impact statistics

Showing our impact is essential. It informs our volunteers, supporters and families about the effectiveness of our work.
Work with us

The industry landscape is changing and our work is more relevant than ever. We can help the children of colleagues across the industry, but rely on employers to tell staff about our grants.
Our vision

We are here to help children by supporting parents working in the UK fashion and textile industry. It’s why our charity was started back in 1853.
