Suited and Booted for men

Creating a good first impression at a job interview is so important, and appearing smart and business-like can improve your chances of getting a job. If you need a suit, shirt and tie for an interview, our Suited and Booted for Men scheme can help you.

Suited & Booted continues to be supported by most of our corporate partners who give donations of smart and modern formal men’s clothing.

In 2016, some of these suits were given to the Job Club’s male participants and also Central Foundation Boys' School students, who were wanting to get jobs.

We gained referrals from Help on Your Doorstep, the local secondary schools and also from our own Job Club.

Firm Futures is a collaboration between St Luke's, law firm Slaughter and May and enterprise experts B Consultancy.
