Sandrine Lee, Operations and Support Services Director at St James’s Facilities, said;
“Growing up as a Londoner, and being an employer in London, I feel very passionate about supporting the community we live and work in. Having spoken to Advance about the barriers women face to escape abuse, and move on with their lives, we’re pleased to work in partnership to provide smart clothing to their 11 Advance Women’s Centres.”
“I look forward to an evolving partnership with Advance and supporting their vital work in helping women to live safe, free and equal lives.”
Clothes will be available in all 11 Women’s Centres for women to take whenever they need. Whether for a specific reason such as a legal appointment or job interview, or to have a smart piece of clothing in their wardrobe to boost their self-confidence.
St James’s Facilities Services provides facilities and event management, along with smart workwear for businesses.

About Advance
- Advance’s vision is a world in which women and children lead safe, equal, violence-free lives so that they can flourish and actively contribute to society. The charity works with women who experience domestic abuse to be safe and take control of their lives, and women who have committed crime or are at risk of offending to break the cycle.
- As well as providing direct support, Advance works with statutory services, government agencies and other women’s charities to ensure a holistic approach to the issues these women face.
- Women must be referred to Advance, via statutory services or the charity’s self-referral scheme. For more information about who Advance is able to support, please visit Get Help
