A series of four exciting fashion shows marked the launch of the first ever Welcome Charity Shop in Shard End on Saturday 1st September.
Councillor Marje Bridle, representing the Shard End Ward, cut the ribbon at the shop before joining locals to watch the shows, featuring Welcome clients, staff and volunteers as models.
The lively catwalk, expert commentary, and stunning outfits selected by the models themselves from the shop made for an entertaining day – and proved how easy it is to dress well for less.
Joanne Mackinnon, Chief Executive of Welcome said: “We have been overwhelmed by the response to our call for donated goods. The shop looks amazing and has a wide range of items for sale from toys and bric a brac to books and clothes. The quality of the goods people are recycling is fantastic.”
We are still looking for volunteers and donations for the shop. For more information see our Charity Shop page.
