EMPOWERED women took to the catwalk at a fundraising event in Leamington for Helping Hands
The charity’s Women’s Wellbeing Evening at All Saints Parish Church raised £3,186 in donations, which will go towards supporting individuals with vulnerabilities across Warwick, Leamington, and Kenilworth.
The evening offered a mix of fashion, shopping, and wellbeing. Attendees were able to shop rails of new and nearly new branded clothing, as well as browse local business stalls ranging from skincare and jewellery to natural health products.
And a fashion show, led by the charity’s own women’s support group Akeeva, saw women – many of whom have overcome significant personal challenges -, take to the catwalk proudly wearing t-shirts they had designed themselves in their group sessions.
Event organiser Stacey Calder said: “While the event was to raise vital funds for the charity, what I love about events like these is the follow-on effect. We’ve already had attendees enquiring about volunteering, fundraising, or sponsoring future events – all of which are vital to keeping our work going. We’re so grateful to everyone who played a part in making this happen.”
