Key to Freedom
Key to Freedom is an initiative founded by The York Family to support and find a route to market for products made by the Women’s Interlink Foundation – a charity that provides vulnerable young women from West Bengal, India, with skills to earn an income.
The young women supported by the Women’s Interlink Foundation have been exposed to domestic abuse or trafficked into the sex trade.
The sale of the products allows the women to earn a living wage and regain control of the choices in their lives. Key to Freedom facilitates a route to market for the garments created by the young women through retailers including Topshop and Royal Collection.
As part of a partnership with Key to Freedom, Hobbs recently launched an exclusive collection of silk scarves, including one designed to commemorate the wedding of Princess Eugenie and Jack Brooksbank.
