As part of our ongoing social value work, RSS Infrastructure and Auctus Management Group partnered with the Disability Resource Centre (DRC) Birmingham to deliver a collection of donated clothing. The initiative supports people who face barriers to accessing suitable clothes for important life events such as job interviews, weddings and funerals. Contributions from the team at freeatlast were central to the project’s success.

What we did
RSS Infrastructure and Auctus Management Group arranged the transfer of a significant donation of clothing collected by the team at freeatlast. The garments were chosen to support people who need suitable clothing for essential events such as interviews and family gatherings, helping to build confidence and opportunity.
The items were delivered to the Disability Resource Centre in Birmingham, a non-profit organisation that has been improving the lives of disabled people for over 25 years. With a team largely made up of people with lived experience of disability, the DRC provides skills development, wellbeing support and employment services to people with long-term health conditions or disabilities.
