Why buy a prom dress in Bolton?
By shopping with us, you can look good, feel good and do good.
Support the local community
Regenerage is a local charity supporting older people to live and age well. Our secondhand items have plenty of life left in them and have been prepared accordingly for the rails. We carefully handle items, ensuring that they remain in great condition.
Our charity supports the elderly, many of whom are living with loneliness, dementia or other memory concerns. By shopping with us, you can help support this effort, allowing us to continue offering our excellent services year-round.
We support older people through our activity centres, well-being clubs, at-home services and much more.
Encourage donations and a circular economy
Another huge benefit of shopping with us is that you are supporting a circular economy. So many people wear clothes just a few times and throw them away, when really, they could be sent to a charity shop for a second life. So many of the items we receive at the shop have only been worn a handful of times, and many still have their labels on.
Young people can protect the planet
We all need to do our bit to support the planet, and by shopping secondhand for your prom dress, you’re definitely doing your bit.
Experience amazing cost savings in fashion
Cost savings are another huge benefit. By shopping at Regenerage, you could save around 30% compared to buying the item brand new, sometimes even more! Purchasing expensive items doesn’t mean they will last any longer or look any better, so it’s worth considering our preloved clothing. Explore our gorgeous options for a fraction of the price!
Find the perfect outfit
Charity shops can also offer more unique styles for prom dresses. You’re less likely to find a dress that’s the same style as everyone else’s, which is exactly what you want from an event as important as prom.
If you want to help make a difference AND feel a million dollars at prom, then you should pay a visit to our Regenerage Charity Superstore in Bolton. We have a huge selection of prom dresses in Bolton and look forward to welcoming you. We have dresses for every special occasion, all donated by our wonderful community. You’ll find evening wear, suits, and much more – there are styles for everyone.
Browse our stores and promote sustainable fashion with friends, family, parents and the rest of the community. No appointments needed, just head to our stores and shop away!
