At the heart of our mission is the belief that fashion can be a powerful catalyst for change. We embrace the concept pf circular fashion by offering a curated selection of high-quality preloved fashion items, giving them a new lease of life and reducing the necessity of clothing production and therefore it's damaging to our environment. By selling these items, we raise vital funds to support the Aegis Trust's peace education initiatives, creating further positive impact in communities affected by prejudice and violence.

Through our partnership with Aegis Trust, we contribute directly to their peace and reconciliation programs. These programs focus on building bridges in divided communities', foster dialogue and empowering communities to heal and thrive, with their diversity making them stronger together, united by humanity and not divided by hate and discrimination.

Ruth - Area Manager
"I joined White Rose as an Assistant Manager and quickly progressed to Dual Site Manager. White Rose provided me with the opportunity to undertake an Apprenticeship in the Operations Manager Level 5 Course, which has enabled me to become an Area Manager. White Rose has given me the confidence to drive my career forward, offering full support and training throughout. I never imagined I would have the incredible opportunity to become an Area Manager for a company and job I love. Working for White Rose is rewarding, and I can't thank the team enough for believing in me."
Nathan - Assistant Manager
"I began at White Rose part time in our original and smallest store. Learning about the business and improving my retail skills in a relaxed environment thanks to the manager Calum. Six months later, I joined the new team at our Nottingham outlet store, where I stepped up to managing the men's floor. I was able to gain experience in independent working, visual merchandising, and leadership. Ten months of improvement gave me the confidence to apply for an assistant manager position in Leicester, a new store, and a new city. Creating a bright store that celebrates second hand fashion, managing a diverse team of volunteers and achieving the White Rose store of the year award for 2023! In the Summer of 2024, I moved again to our flagship Leeds store. This is an exciting new challenge I'm delighted to be a part of. Each step with White Rose has given me the opportunity to learn and apply my own skills in different environments. I have pride for my store and see it as a reflection of my hard work."
