Fashion Fundraiser raises £1,642 for charities Advocacy Focus and Lancashire Women

On Wednesday 16th October, Advocacy Focus held an amazing Fashion Fundraiser with Lancashire Women!

The event took place at the beautiful Mitton Hall, and it was a night full of fashion, fun, and community spirit. Guests watched a fabulous fashion show from Willow Tree Boutique, shopped at local stalls, and donated to our “Gift of Glam” appeal. A stall full of preloved items with a call to recycle and reuse whilst raising vital funds.

Together, we raised an incredible £1,642! This money will be shared equally between Lancashire Women and Advocacy Focus and will provide local services for local people.
