Syria

As many of you will have read in the papers or seen on the news the situation in Syria is shocking and deeply upsetting. Recently myself and a few friends organised a charity event "Fashion for Action" in High Wycombe, the aim was to raise money for the victims of the brutalities that were taking place in Syria.

We were told the event was a huge success and was thoroughly enjoyed by all those who came. I know myself and the other organisers were so busy and completely run off our feet all evening that we didnt really get to stop and enjoy the event.

We went on to raise about £7000 which was absolutely amazing- I think we had aimed to raise about £5000 but the generosity of our community and all those who attended was overwhelming. I know the money raised will be put towards a great cause via Hand in Hand for Syria (the charity we supported.)

I just wanted to thank all those who attended and those who supported us in one way or another, without all the help and support we would never have been able to raise such a large amount.

Check out the website if you would like more information about the charity or would like to donate, http://www.handinhandforsyria.org.uk/

We are hoping to organise another event in the near future so watch this space :)
