Uneek donates garments
to charity
Uneek Clothing donated more than 150 garments from its 2017
photoshoot to Els Medsorg, a care facility in Vereeniging, near Cape
Town, South Africa. Hoodies, tees, workwear and sportswear were
donated to the facility, which supports adults and young people with
disabilities. Stylist Wandi Lamprecht, who oversaw the donation,
said: “An elderly gentleman who delivers the local newspaper is now
the proud owner of the UC802 Long Sleeve Safety Waistcoat. He’s
absolutely thrilled with his new outerwear, especially as he can now
be seen at 4am on his rounds.”
Raza Khan, MD of Uneek, commented: “Supporting the local com-
munity in the countries we work in is really important to us. It’s great
that so many people can benefit from our clothing samples and we
hope this is something we can continue going forward.”
