We know that first impressions are important when attending an interview, and not being able to afford appropriate interview clothing can be a barrier for many. We also know that buying clothes for a new job is challenging when waiting for your first pay day to come.

An award of £75 can be made in the form of a gift card if your application is successful to help you purchase appropriate clothing. We cannot provide cash payments.

There is a finite amount of money available and once funds are exhausted applications will close.

Please note that you cannot apply for funding for a role you are already employed in, or for a new role where you will be provided with a uniform, or a clothing allowance.

Once you have completed your application, please forward your interview confirmation letter or confirmation of employment to bowland@lancaster.ac.uk. You may be required to provide evidence of your current bank balance.

Please complete the Workwear Wardrobe Fund. Applicants are welcome to discuss their situation with the College Manager.

If you have any queries please email bowland@lancaster.ac.uk for more information.
