The Kids Had a Ball!

The children at With Kids had an absolute ball at the Autumn Ball and Fashion Show and we just wanted to say a MASSIVE thank you to all of our lovely families who participated in our fashion show.

When the kids took centre stage on the night it really boosted their confidence and self-esteem, and their beaming smiles were evidence that they had such good fun strutting down the cat walk!

Firstly, we would like to thank our wonderful hosts, Kathleen McDermott Carberry and John Amabile, as well as Michelle McManus and Feeva for keeping us entertained!

We would also like to say a huge thank you to the fatBuzz team for organising and hosting the event, Cumbernauld College who did a truly amazing job with the hair and make-up, and Falk&Ross UK Limited and Ivy Kiss for donating clothes.

A special mention goes out to Alec from Falk&Ross for styling and for his endless patience on the night and April from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland for her choreography!

Last but by no means least; thank you to the With Kids staff, volunteers, friends, family and supporters who all made the event possible. We couldn't have done it without you!

We put a little video together of the event, which you can view below. See if you can spot yourself, and remember to have a look through the photos on our Facebook page and tag yourself or anyone you know in them.

With Kids are Having a Ball!

At With Kids, we always make sure some of Glasgow's most disadvantaged and vulnerable children are having the time of their lives, but next month, they really will be having a Ball.

That’s because on Friday 14th of September, we are hosting our second With Kids Autumn Ball and Fashion Show!

Taking place in the luxuriously refurbished Grand Central Hotel in Glasgow, the evening, organised by fatBuzz Ltd, promises to be a night to remember.

Featuring clothes from Falk&Ross UK Limited, as well as exclusively designed t-shirts made by the children and their families, the children themselves will take to the catwalk to strut their stuff.

Letting the kids take centre stage on the night will undoubtedly help boost their confidence and self-esteem, and subsequently, could really help change their young lives.

April Clark, a student at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, will be managing production and choreography, while students from Cumbernauld College will be taking care of hair and makeup.

After the fashion show, the party will continue with Michelle McManus and Scotland’s top female tribute band, Feeva.

The event will be hosted by BAFTA award winning actress and With Kids’ Ambassador, Kathleen McDermott Carberry, alongside celebrity designer and television presenter, John Amabile.

Kathleen, who was born and bred in Barlanark in the east end of the city, has previously spoke of her pride in being an Ambassador for With Kids.

She said: “I am extremely proud to be an Ambassador for With Kids because the area in which they work is very close to my heart and it saddens me that so many children living in Glasgow are still in need of the help and support With Kids provide."

This fashion show will not only raise much-needed funds 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 experienced.

A table of ten for the With Kids Autumn Ball and Fashion Show will cost £750 and we’d be delighted if you, your friends and clients could join us for a memorable night of drinks, dinner, fashion, and entertainment.

We are delighted to have a number of category sponsors onboard, but there are still sponsorship opportunities available. If you want to support this event, you can be assured that With Kids have considerable experience of event management and corporate partnerships and will maximise the opportunity for you.

Finally, the With Kids Autumn Ball and Fashion Show promises to be a fantastic event, but we depend on auction prizes to make a healthy amount of money for some of the most vulnerable and excluded children who desperately need the support of With Kids.

For more information on booking details, sponsorship or auction prizes, please contact events@fatbuzz.com.
