Preloved Fashion event returns raising funds for Stars Appeal

Thursday, 14 November 2024 05:55

The much-anticipated Preloved Fashion and Sustainable Shopping Event returns on Thursday, November 21, from 7pm to 10.30pm at the Guildhall in Salisbury.

Last year's event raised over £4,753 for Salisbury District Hospital’s Stars Appeal, which enhances care for patients across the hospital.

Organisers Lynne Rose and Corinne Whillock are aiming even higher this year to support the charity. Every ticket sale, donation, and purchase made at this event will directly benefit the Stars Appeal, supporting projects across all wards.

Last year’s sold-out event drew over 200 guests, and for 2024, Lynne, Managing Director at Personnel Placements, and Corinne, Owner of Lulu & Boo Sustainable Jewellery, have expanded the event with more features!

The Preloved Fashion Event offers a unique shopping experience. As well as a handpicked selection of high-quality preloved and vintage fashion Boutique Sellers, sustainable makers and homeware sellers, guests can look forward to a welcome glass of prosecco, live singers, the all-new ‘Expert Corner’ in the Oak Court Room, where guests can find styling and hair advice and tips, get ‘their colours done’ as well as sit and relax with a drink from the event bar. The now-famous fashion returns for 2024 too!

Corinne and Lynne’s connection to the Stars Appeal is deeply personal. Corinne’s career as a midwife allowed her to witness firsthand the charity’s impact on patient care. For Lynne, the charity holds significance due to her father’s journey with cancer and the exceptional care he received at Salisbury District Hospital. More recently, the support for her husband from the Ear, Nose, and Throat (ENT) team after a rare and sudden condition left him completely deaf.

Lynne and Corinne will be joined on the evening by fellow fundraisers and Stars Appeal Trekkers Colin Ford, Michael Whillock, Jo Maslen, Viv Grant, and Anita Goddard. All of them are fundraising ahead of the Stars Appeal Dalai Lama Mountain Trek in India in 2026.

Tickets are £17.50 and include a glass of prosecco on arrival. All proceeds are donated to the Stars Appeal.
