Member Event: Fashion Xtravaganza at Great Yarmouth Racecourse in aid of The East Coast Hospice Appeal

The East Coast Hospice charity is fundraising to build an independent, 10 bed hospice with day care facilities for people in the Great Yarmouth & Waveney areas. The charity has already purchased the land and detailed plans are drawn up. They are working to secure grant funding to match the funds raised through their network of charity shops and the invaluable support from the community. The charity is moving closer to building this hospice to provide specialist care for patients and their families living with a life-limiting illness, helping to make every moment count.

Their fundraising team is always organising a wide variety of events and fun ways to join in and support the hospice appeal. One such event is their annual “Fashion Xtravaganza” at Great Yarmouth Race course on Saturday 21st April.

The staff & volunteers at the hospice appeal are working with students from The East Coast College to help showcase the treasures & bargains that can be found across their high street charity shops.

The evening will be compered by Helen McDermott, a patron of the hospice appeal and a well-known TV presenter.

Tickets are only £7 in advance & £10 on the door.  All tickets will be entered into a prize draw to win a dinner/dance of their choice (value £120) at the Holiday Inn, Norwich North.  Tickets are available from all the East Coast Hospice charity shops or online at www.eastcoastfashion.org.uk.

Live music will be provided throughout the evening by local band “The Vintage” with additional solo performances from Steve Thorpe from the band “one more shot” & young singer Mary-Lou Clark.

If you love shopping, you will enjoy the fashion and beauty pop up shops, including a “Failsworth” designer hat sale. There will also be free beauty & pampering treatments.

Please contact Andrea in their fundraising team with any queries.  Tel 01493 718707 or e-mail [email protected] There are still a few spaces for stall holders and the charity would love more people to get involved with a volunteering role on the evening.
