Anglia Ruskin University is going to be hosting an auction and fashion show in aid of the NSPCC. This event is being hosted as a celebration of the 25th anniversary since the start of ChildLine. The event has been organised by the NSPCC and is being helped by students studying fashion at the University as well as local fashion retailers.
Kate Armstrong is from the southern Cambridgeshire NSPCC and she has commented, “It is very important that young people have a role in organising this event because ChildLine is all about the support of young people and helping those who are at particular risk.”
The highlight of the evening is going to be the catwalk show and this will feature many designs from students at the University. There are also going to be lines from Cuckoo, as well as swimwear and lingerie from Le Reve and hats from Abigail Crampton Millinery.
Tickets are on sale for £20 and this includes a goodie bag and a welcome drink. Opportunities to buy clothing are going to be before the catwalk show as well as afterwards. There is going to be a fashion draw at the event as well as a burlesque show. Another highlight of the evening is going to be the fashion auction which is going to be hosted by Will Axon, who is famous for its role on BBC television’s Flog It.
The evening has sponsorship from BMW and the whole event is designed to raise awareness about the work the NSPCC is doing and especially that which is taking place through ChildLine. The head of ChildLine is Sue Minto who is said, “Children should have access to confidential support and this is something that ChildLine has been providing for the last quarter of a century.
It is sad that we still need to provide this confidential line but it is something that is needed in society and we can’t see this changing in the near future. We are continually working on new ways for children to contact us in a way that they feel comfortable with and get them counselling if they need it.”
