One of the most unique and moving events Glasgow has ever seen will take place in the city this year.On June 23rd at the Hilton Hotel a fashion show with a difference will help to raise funds for some of Glasgow’s most disadvantaged and vulnerable children. The show will be organised by With Kids, the charity that seeks to help these children in Glasgow’s East End.
The show will feature clothes from Marks and Spencer and perhaps some exclusively designed t shirts made by East End children and their families. These children themselves will take to the catwalk to model the clothes they have designed.
In this way, not only will much-needed funds be raised for one of Glasgow’s most important charities but the children will be undertaking something that can empower them in a way that they have never before experienced. Owing to grinding poverty, severe deprivation and chronic ill health in their families, these children will never have had the opportunity to see an event such as this, far less participate in it.
With Kids seeks to break the cycle of poverty and deprivation in Glasgow’s east end by intervening in the lives of young children with play therapy schemes that seek to strengthen their self-esteem and bring out their innate gifts. The boost to their confidence and self-esteem will be incalculable and will help to change their lives.
The event itself will be hosted by Kathleen McDermott Carberry, the Bafta Award winning actress who is herself a native of Glasgow’s East End. Kathleen will be joined on the night by John Amabile, the celebrity interior designer and television presenter.
