The Fusion Clothing Connection is the public face of Fusion's work. A second hand clothing store with a difference, it is the heart of a network of concern and care for the community.
While the money generated from the store is important, its main function is to be a point of connection in the community.

The aim of the Fusion Clothing Connection is to build bridges within the community so that people of all ages are part of a network that cares for them and provides the support and resources they need.

As the American sociologist Robert Putnam says, "Research now shows that social isolation is as dangerous to the health as smoking." Fusion is working to provide a place in communities across Tasmania to counteract the effects of social isolation in our community by helping people to connect with one another.

Features of the community connection centre are internet access, free tea and coffee, a community information centre, book shop and groups for people to belong to; plus the affordable, quality recycled clothing available in the Clothing Connection.

In addition to all this, the Fusion Clothing Connection provides the opportunity for local artists and craftspeople to display and sell their wares.

It is hoped that people will find a place to belong at the Fusion Clothing Connection, whether that means joining a craft group, stopping for a chat and a coffee once a week, volunteering in the shop or simply donating clothes.

All profits from the Fusion Clothing Connection go toward supporting the youth and community work programs of Fusion.
