Our London centre is powered by a passionate team of staff and volunteers who coordinate and deliver our service across the capital. From community outreach to booking in clients, sorting donations, dressing and coaching clients, our team makes sure everyone who comes to Smart Works has the best possible experience, and leaves ready to take on the world.
