Jer, we're down here at Veterans in Crisis in Pallion and you're launching the Veterans
00:05
Into Clothing initiative. Can you talk us through the project?
00:07
Yeah, so Veterans Into Clothing is a new initiative that we've partnered with
00:11
Woven Inc Limited in Washington where we get surplus brand new clothes and we're going to
00:15
give them away to people in Sunderland for free.
00:17
And how do people go about getting the clothing? Is it a referral service?
00:21
Yeah, people can be referred through five different services at the moment, plus if you're a veteran
00:26
you can come through us. So the services are Sara in Southwick, Lampton Street, Pallion Action Group,
00:32
Gen 2 and Love Amelia. But there will be more at a later date once this starts.
00:38
And it's really good quality clothing, isn't it?
00:40
It's excellent clothing. We've Googled and they are quite expensive, some of the items.
00:44
Can you talk us through some of the brands that you've got?
00:46
We have a lot of Hummel stuff. We have a lot of skaters, hoodies, surfing things from all over
00:55
the country. We've got some Everton Football Club stuff, some Oldham Football Club. We've even got
01:00
some stuff from Northampton town.
01:02
And there are some people in the community who are really in need of new clothing, aren't there?
01:06
Yeah, so when me and Ian got chatting, so Ian Taylor being the guy from Woven Inc,
01:10
we got chatting and both of us sort of despised the fact that kids get bullied for having rubbish
01:15
clothes. And we just thought it would be nice to be able to do something for the whole community,
01:20
not just veterans. So people will come along and pick some nice clothes for themselves.
01:25
They'll have a private appointment so no one knows that they're getting stuff for free.
01:29
And hopefully it'll just grow bigger. So if there's any other companies that want to give
01:33
us brand new clothes to give away and we can advertise, that would be brilliant.
