We had our first fashion show!
I had the idea of a Fashion Show but wanted to raise some money for a local charity too. I met with Lynne Bennett, Charity Manager from Cash for Kids beginning of January this year.
Lynne is an amazing lady with sheer drive and determination for Cash for Kids, we had a lovely chat and she told me all about Cash for Kids and the work that they do.
Set up in 1997 the charity is underwritten by the Hunter Foundation which means every penny raised goes to the under privileged children who need it most. Over 14,000 children were supported last year alone. She told me 1 in 5 children in Scotland are living in poverty and most of them have a parent in full time employment which in this day and age is tragic. I'm not on here here to preach but it certainly opened my eyes and although I don't have kids, its touched a raw nerve.
The setting for the event was Si Italia which created a beautiful backdrop for our cat walk, we had plenty of shopping for the ladies with Scentsations of Troon Elizabeth Arden Ecosse Candles and photographs and booth from Amber Jenkins Photography
On the night we raised £1020.00 from ticket & raffle sales. I'm really grateful to those who gave up their time, donated raffles and came along and supported myself and Cash for Kids.
Look out for our AW14 Showcase!
