Keith’s Closet provides new and high-end second-hand quality clothing, toiletries, and accessories free of charge to those admitted to the mental health service. Patients can visit the boutique-style walk-in wardrobe accompanied by a member of staff for a 1:1 shopping experience to choose from a variety of styles and fashions. This service is not only providing essential items, but it improves self-esteem, confidence and instils hope for the future.
We also run an outreach program to those supported by the community mental health team by providing all the items available in Keith's Closet.
Keith’s Closet has been featured in the Australian and Irish media.
Keith has created a community of people from different backgrounds, businesses and families. He has a unique talent of engaging with people to reach not only within themselves but to also reach out to their own communities. Together we all can achieve success which is led by Keith. He has such an extraordinary approach in connecting not only personally with thanks and gratitude but also connecting with like minded people and communities.
Being a volunteer for Keith’s Closet is an uplifting and heartwarming experience. Having had my own little struggles over the years I wanted to give some time helping people in mental health and I was so lucky to be put in touch with Keith who introduced me to Keith’s Closet . Being able to put a smile on people’s faces that are going through a rough stage in their life or those who have very little, being able to chat and give back to them and improve their day is so rewarding. It creates such a positive impact for clients. Look good, feel good says it all. I am so grateful to be part of Keith’s Closet and to see the passion Keith puts into our mental health community is unbelievable.
With nice clothes, I am once more equal to anyone. New clothes give me a lot of confidence. I can start organising for a job interview and restart my life.
