Suited & Booted is a charity for vulnerable, unemployed and low-income men. The charity helps men get back into employment by providing suitable clothing for interviews. Maria Lenn the founder of Suited & Booted has come across many clients who have lost everything and in a sense, lost themselves. The charity also helps their clients with self-esteem and other emotional help to get back on track. I must say that Maria is an amazing, inspirational person.
