Hello Vauxhall, meet Wear The Future.
A Vauxhall-based, youth-led sustainable fashion CIC turning circular their circular operation into real-world opportunities for local young people.
Through our Live Industry Experience Programme, circular retail and community activity, we bring together youth skills and employability, textile reuse and local participation in one integrated model for environmental and social change.
We’re looking to connect with Vauxhall and Lambeth businesses and organisations that want to create practical local impact — through their people, expertise, equipment, space, clothing, funding or partnerships.
Working with Business and Community Leaders to Create Youth Opportunity and Sustainable Futures
A NEW MODEL FOR ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL IMPACT
Our unique model connects circular fashion with opportunities for young people to deliver environmental and social impact.
Our commercial operation creates real work and learning opportunities for participants aged 16-25 and enables them to reduce the environmental impact linked to new production and textile waste.
Through the programme, participants also build a deeper understanding of sustainability, circularity and the environmental impact of consumption — knowledge they can carry into their future careers, communities and everyday choices.
By combining practical experience with sustainability education and local participation, we aim to influence behaviour beyond the programme itself: helping young people, businesses and communities make more informed choices, keep resources in use for longer and contribute to a more circular local economy.
