Talented Sixth Form students at Alderley Edge School for Girls showed off their creativity and held a fashion show to raise funds for The Samburu Womens Empowerment Group in Kenya. The charity supports the women of Samburu through the development of training schemes and marketing assistance for their products - enabling the community to become more self-sufficient.
The evening began with Year 11 pupil Amy Francis playing the saxophone to over 120 guests then the girls took to the catwalk to model their own creations and post show refreshments were served in the style of a Samburu market. So far, over £800 has been collected.
Mrs Barbara Milner, Design and Technology teacher for the school enthused, "We wanted to follow on from the success of last years show and the girls certainly didn't let us down. Their designs and support for the event was unbelievable and we are looking forward to hosting another show next year. It is amazing how much positive feedback we receive from our events and I am delighted to hear that a parent who attended the event was so impressed with the show and the professionalism of the girls, that she has enquired about a place for her daughter at the school for next year."
Alderley Edge School for Girls would like to thank all those who took the time out to attend and donated so generously to the charity.
