Fashion show to shine spotlight on domestic abuse prevention

The fashion show, which takes place on Wednesday 4 December at The Underground at
Orbital Retail Park, will showcase the excellent range of donated fashion and accessories
available at the charity’s shop, SWA Survivor.

Christmas fashions and party wear will be available to see and purchase at the event, with
all money raised on the evening and through ticket sales going directly to the charity to fund
their support programmes for children and young people who are impacted by domestic
abuse.

Emma Maclennan, CYP Manager, said: “The fundraising fashion show is set to be an
excellent evening of fun and style. Every penny raised will go directly to fund what we are
doing to empower and educate with the vision to create a society without abuse.

“Every item of clothing that will be showcased on the catwalk or available to buy has been
donated by generous members of the public to our shop. We’ve also received donations
and help from other businesses, including Haydon Wick School, Tesco and Asda, to make
the event a night to remember.

“We will also be holding a raffle with wonderful prizes that would be perfect Christmas gifts.
So, you can get your presents and style all wrapped up for Christmas early, and support the
work that SWA/SDASS does across the town at the same time.”

The SWA Fashion Show takes place from 6pm-8pm on Wednesday 4 December at The
Underground, Orbital Retail Park, Swindon. Tickets cost £5, which includes a glass of
mulled wine or a soft drink and mince pie, and are available from the SWA Survivor shop in
The Parade, Swindon town centre.
