Prom Appeal
Despite now being a crucial part of teenage life, the cost for a child's prom can extend into the thousands. This, combined with the fact that we are facing the highest ever rates of poverty in the UK, means that some children are having to miss out on this once-in-a-lifetime event.
Therefore, we are asking for donations of new/lightly used prom dresses, suits, shoes and accessories that can be provided to these children for free. We will offer these children a boutique experience by visiting us in our lakeside store via appointment, where they can try on as many dresses, suits, shoes and accessories as they like. All whilst being treated like a prince or princess for the night.
What do we accept?
We accept:
-
Dresses ALL SIZES
-
Suits/Tuxedos ALL SIZES
-
Shoes, male and female, ALL SIZES
-
JEWELLERY AND ACCESSORIES
-
BAGS
