SUSTAINABLE FASHION WEEK
Uniting the community in taking creative action, to change the fashion system from the bottom up.
WHAT DO WE DO
We make sustainable fashion accessible.
Taking a grassroots approach, we help to empower people with skills and resources to help drive a positive shift in our collective relationship with clothes.
We explore the different ways people can take action for a better fashion future, no matter their background or budget.
HOW DO WE DO IT
We are network builders.
We bring together organisations, brands, makers and activists working to change fashion, building a powerful collective and amplifying their work.
We deliver an annual programme of activity designed to inspire, upskill and resource the ordinary citizen.
WE ARE โC2Cโ
SFW is community-led for community benefit.
We believe in the power of sharing values and activating change at a grassroots level. We work with a โc2cโ approach: community to community; consumer to consumer, citizen to citizen.
This is about you! Be part of our growing #SFWcommunity.
WHATโS COMING UP?
MEND IT MAY
Itโs back! Throughout the month of May weโll be running our annual activation campaign, #MendItMay.
The call to action? Mend one item of clothing in May (or get it repaired professionally if you donโt feel confident) to save it from landfill. Weโll be sharing all the info on the campaign in April - for now, follow us on IG - where all the action will take place - and polish your needles!
WE NEED YOU.
CAN YOU SPONSOR US IN 2025?
We rely on sponsorship to fund our community work and help cover our costs. We need your help!

Taking place across the country, communities took action locally to change fashion globally. With the theme of The Power of Repair, the programme spanned over 50 UK towns and cities.
FASHION ON EARTH
Set to the backdrop of Luke Jerramโs โGAIAโ in the immense Bristol Cathedral, we staged a celebration of fashion that is produced in harmony with Earthโs natural systems.
RECONNECTION
Weโve launched โReconnection // The SFW podcastโ in collaboration with Louise Gookey. With exciting guests from the world of sustainable fashion sharing their stories.
