BBCC say
It’s going to a MASSIVE charity event taking place on Bank Holiday Sunday 2nd May, at the Birmingham Conservatoire (next to Central Library) from midday until 9.30pm in the evening.
The fundraiser is all in aid of the Birmingham Children’s Hospital and it’s a lot do with putting a spotlight on a multicultural and vibrant Birmingham.
On the day, you’ll be entertained with showgirls, pampered at the Beauty Hall and treating yourself to a spot of retail therapy at the Fashion Hall. Here fashion stylists can advise you on What’s Hot & What’s Not this season…We’re even thinking about a Wardrobe Swap Shop so watch this space. To top it all off, there will be Fashion Catwalk & Auction from 6.30pm onwards. There are limited places available for this- tickets will be available at Bar Risa (Broad St) in April.
And if fashion isn’t your bag- there’ll also be a Jobs Fair to help those seeking employment or get advice. Aside from the Catwalk show, all areas are free entry to the public.
As the second largest city - Birmingham seems to lack a lot of the creative opportunities that other cities hold - especially for young people. Here we’re creating our own opportunity in this event - supporting students, young graduates, local businesses and the local community, whilst fundraising for a fantastic local charity- the BCH.
It’s not just fashion designers and models that we’re after …
*Corporate sponsorships for companies are available
*Local boutiques can showcase their collections on the Catwalk
*Traders are wanted for both the Fashion & Beauty Halls
* Local employers can also take a stand at the Jobs Fair
This all-day event will help bring the local community and local businesses together- everyone involved in participating and producing the show are unpaid volunteers pooling their skills together for a worthy cause.
