If you are looking for an opportunity to make a meaningful impact, then you’ve come to the right place!
About us
White Rose is a registered charity founded in 2010 by two Nottingham Trent University students who were truly inspired by the work of the Aegis Trust. Selling hand-picked, high-quality, pre-loved fashion and accessories in our stores across Nottingham, Beeston, West Bridgford, Sheffield, Derby, Leicester, Manchester and Leeds. We champion sustainable fashion and support the work of the Aegis Trust, a registered charity that aims to prevent prejudice and resolve hate-fuelled violence and mass atrocities through peace-building programmes in communities worldwide.
Our purpose is to redefine high-street fashion with a positive impact on the planet and humanity, reducing the environmental impact of fast fashion. White Rose aspire to be the number one destination for pre-loved fashion.
