Fashion for Charity

5584As part of the ‘Live Events’ module, a group of six BA (Hons) Events Management students organised a charity fashion show ‘A Vision to Remember’ to showcase the talent of fashion students in the Birmingham area.  Each of the students took on a different role to make the event a success:

  • Annie Marston – Operations and HR Manager
  • Jennie Meyrick – Risk Assessor  
  • Sarah Lavell – Venue Manager
  • Hayley Griffin – Finance Manager
  • Samantha Breslin - Co-ordinator  
  • Stephanie Knight – Marketing Manager

The event was organised to raise awareness and funds for the Vision Charity  who aim to change the lives of blind, visually impaired and dyslexic children. 

The fashion show was held on Monday 17 th May 2010 at Bar Risa, Birmingham and featured collections from local designers, a performance from Eilidh Forster and an envelope raffle.  The group also promoted the event in UCB’s café and ran a street collection in Birmingham on 6 th May.   Through their fundraising efforts, the group managed to raise an impressive £865.65. This money will go towards providing new equipment for one of the Vision Charity's beneficiaries: the Queen Alexandra College , Birmingham.

Some of the UCB student group and lecturer Leila Edwards attended the Family and Friends Day held at Queen Alexandra College where they got to meet again some of the students and staff there along with Bernie Muir, Communications Director of Vision Charity.
