They brought the clothing to life, and it certainly added a fun element to the evening.<\/p>\n<p>All the clothes that are modelled, plus lots of other items in assorted sizes, are available to try on and buy on the evening. When the Fashion Show finishes there is an hour for some retail therapy and the opportunity to pick up some real bargains.<\/p>\n<p>Travelling Trends Fundraising Fashion Shows have been in operation for more than 25 years and we have used their services several times over the years. Normally they have a vast clothing collection available from manufacturers for the most popular high street stores, individual boutiques, and designers. The clothing and accessories are all at excellent discounted prices and everything is under \u00a330. Unfortunately, in the current financial climate, it has proved a challenge for Travelling Trends to source sufficient stock to sustain the business and it will cease at the end of the year.\u00a0 However, there were plenty of clothes to choose from on the evening and many \u2018happy\u2019 customers leaving with their purchases.<\/p>\n<p>With the ticket sales, raffle and % commission from the sales we raised \u00a3410 which will be shared between our two local Hygiene Banks in Maidstone and Medway. Thank you goes to Angela Howe who organised the evening and our two models, Stella and Wanda\u2026well done.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_media_grid element_width=&#8221;3&#8243; grid_id=&#8221;vc_gid:1719316166647-7960d89a-cbb8-3&#8243; include=&#8221;6643,6644,6645,6646,6647,6649,6650,6651,6648,6658,6656,6654,6652,6655,6657&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]During May, Medway and Maidstone Soroptimists hosted a Charity Fashion Show run by Travelling Trends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":730,"featured_media":6660,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[469,508,470],"class_list":["post-6641","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-club-news","tag-charity-fashion-show","tag-hygiene-banks","tag-travelling-trends"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>How did we raise money for the Maidstone and Medway Hygiene Banks? | News | Blog | Events | SI Medway and Maidstone<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"SI Medway and Maidstone : Blog &amp; News : How did we raise money for the Maidstone and Medway Hygiene Banks? : Keep up to date with the latest news, articles and events from the Soroptimists of SI Medway and Maidstone .
