Vicki’s Frock Exchange in aid of Sue Ryder Care
28 Nov 2009 12:00
Venue: Elmgrove Centre
I am happy to announce Vicki’s Frock Exchange is back! Another fun filled frocktastic day will be held at The Elmgrove Centre just off of Gloucester Road on Saturday the 28th November. Just in time to get your Christmas party dress!
This time all the proceeds will be going to Sue Ryder Care. Sue Ryder Care provides essential care and support to people living with serious illnesses and conditions such as Multiple sclerosis, Parkinsons disease, Huntingtons disease and dementia. They give these people and there families back what these debilitating illnesses and diseases take away through there home visits, and in specialist hospices and in neurological care centers.
I have chosen to fundraise for a very specific part of Sue Ryder Care, called the Malawi Village sponsorship project. I have pledged to raise £3,000 in the next 12 months, which will sponsor a village in Malawi for a whole year. It will provide them with the means to help children out there with epilepsy able to go to school. And communities can help themselves by training local volunteers in health issues. These villages need outside support, and it will be amazing to be part of helping those less fortunate than us, don’t you think?
The price of entry will be £10 for the whole day 12: 30 til about 5-6ish!, It will include your clothes swap, refreshments and nibbles, Live entertainment, DJ\’s, seamstress’s on hand, and once again an Amazing Raffle. The prizes last time were fantastic and included tickets to the hippodrome, meals for two, holistic treatments but to name a few!
There will be access to beauticians and stalls, with a few shops on Gloucester Road showing interest in coming and selling there funky stuff! All this will be confirmed in detail nearer the time.
For those of you who missed out last time I shall explain how the Frock Exchange works;
1.IT IS NOT JUST FROCKS!! You can bring Dresses, coats, shoes, bags and jewellery to shop. 6 Items Maximum and EVERYTHING MUST BE IN GOOD CONDITION! Just think to your self “I want to take some nice things home, so I will bring nice things for others to take home!”
2.You will come with your items which will be checked and displayed by my wonderful volunteers; you will then be given an exchange voucher with the number of Items you bought, so you can take the same number of items away with you. You will be checked on your departure
3.You will have a few hours to try lots of things on and enjoy what else is going on throughout the day. BUT you cannot claim anything as your own until the exchange officially opens. So before it opens, everything must be back on the hangers or display units. I will then give you the nod and you can make a run for your Items! Everyone went home happily with a least one thing they wanted last time. As I have said before, NO BITING or SCRATCHING!!!! Remember it’s all for a good cause!
4.You will have fun! We all had such a happy day last May and raised £800 for Breast Cancer Research UK, and I know it’s going to be bigger better and raise even more this time!
To obtain a ticket, please email me vickisfrockexchange@live.co.uk and I will give you details. For Women of all shapes and sizes age 16 and over
If you are on Facebook, please join my group;
