The Fountain Centre’s Fashion Show – Over £8k Raised for Cancer Support.

Suzanne and I were delighted to attend the Fountain Centre’s Fashion Show at the Harbour Hotel in Guildford on October 4^th. The Fountain Centre is an independent cancer charity and each month they have some 1,400 people coming through their doors for counselling, complementary therapies, exercise and information. The cost of providing this service is over £600,000 a year and fund-raising events like the fashion show, which has been running for a number of years, are vitally important. It must be nerve-wracking for anyone to get up on a catwalk, but the models this evening were some of the people that are currently undergoing cancer treatment and are beneficiaries of the Foundation Centre. Understandably nervous but with the raucous support of family and friends and an upbeat soundtrack they were soon strutting their stuff modelling outfits  from one of the main sponsors, Elphicks department Store in Farnham. Nick Hobson, the Chairman, looked after the Mayor of Guildford, his wife, Debbie, and ourselves and we had a most enjoyable evening which raised over £8,000.
