flag easyJet expands free uniform program to help UK jobseekers overcome clothing cost barriers amid rising unemployment.

flag easyJet has expanded its crew uniform donation program to provide free professional workwear to jobseekers in the UK, addressing financial barriers in the job market amid rising unemployment. flag The initiative, building on a 2025 pilot with schoolchildren, now partners with charities like NOAH Enterprise in Luton to redistribute repurposed uniforms such as shirts, trousers, and blazers. flag With unemployment at 5.2%—the highest in nearly five years—and 734,000 job vacancies, a survey found 71% of jobseekers cite clothing costs as a barrier, while over 80% believe proper attire boosts confidence and hiring chances. flag The program will expand to Bristol, Birmingham, Edinburgh, Gatwick, and Liverpool in March 2026, with plans for European growth. flag The effort supports sustainability by diverting uniforms from landfill and aligns with easyJet’s environmental goals through aircraft retrofits and reduced ground emissions.
