Whilst in lockdown I took the time to move my focus to how Argys can help our community. What does Argys have to offer? Clothes rv8ight! So I began looking for a charity we aligned with to donate clothes to. This was when I stumbled across a lessor known charity; Keiths Closet. Keiths Closet is an innovative free boutique that provides dignity-restoring clothing, shoes, toiletries and household items to men and women with mental illness. So far Keith has supported 1600 people- both in-patients and those living in the community.
Keith's Closet was the perfect fit for Argys. We wanted to support a cause close to our hearts and that was mental health. Sadly this is a growing issue in our society today. I also loved the fact that donating clothes to Keith meant Argys had a positive avenue to practice our values of sustainbility knowing that our donations would not end up as landfill. Lastly he was local, I wanted to support the community around us because I feel this is where we can make the greatest impact. So I sent him a cold email offering our services to his clients as well as a pipedream dream of my own charity. I woke up to a reply the next morning "What an incredible email to receive, thank you!" We scheduled a zoom catch up and the rest is history. We are currently working on looking at ways to provide up-skill classes for his clients in the future. The possibilities are endless and we cannot wait to get stuck in working with Keiths Closet.
Keith is currently nominated for a Westfield Local Hero Award although voting has closed we wish him the best of luck!
WE ARE THRILLED TO ANNOUNCE KEITH WON THE WESTFIELD LOCAL HERO AWARD. THE PRIZE MONEY OF 10K WILL MAKE A HUGE DIFFERENCE 5O THE FUTURE OF KEITHS CLOSET. CONGRATULATIONS WE CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT AMAZING THINGS KEITHS CLOSET HAS IN STORE.
