Alderbury preloved fashion event raises £2,200 for Stars Appeal
Fundraisers are already planning the next event!
A preloved fashion event in Alderbury has brought more than £2,200 in to the Stars Appeal.
The sale at the Village Hall on April 22nd was put together by a group of trekkers preparing for a trip to Colombia for the Salisbury District Hospital charity next year.
Lynne Rose, organiser and Stars Appeal Trekker said:
"We were absolutely thrilled with how many people came to support the event, we had almost 250 visitors! The hard work and organisation was completely worth it and I can’t thank my fellow trekkers and our sustainable sellers enough for all of their support.
"The fashion show was a highlight, with 3 of our boutique sellers, Made by SJP, Sisters Wardrobe and Sustainable Style Boutique showcasing a selection of their collections on the catwalk and was a huge hit with the crowd!"
Each seller had paid for a pitch but also made a donation based on sales at the end of the event and together with entry fees, café sales and the ‘Trekkers Boutique’, £2271 was raised.
That will go towards the Stars Appeal's work across all wards and departments at our hospital, funding services and equipment over and above what the NHS is able to provide.
Another preloved fashion event is being planned for November, following the success of this first event.
