What a night to remember! Here at the Pear Tree Fund, we are still buzzing with excitement (and perhaps a touch of glamour!) after our hugely successful fashion show on Friday 12 September at Holton Village Hall. It was an absolutely fantastic evening, and we’re thrilled to announce we raised a phenomenal £1,493 thanks to the incredible support of our community.
From the moment the doors opened, Holton Village Hall was brimming with anticipation, chatter and laughter. The atmosphere was truly electric, setting the perfect stage for a spectacular display of fashion.
Glamour on the catwalk
Our amazing models took to the catwalk, showcasing a stunning array of outfits that had everyone’s eyes glued to the stage. From elegant ensembles to more casual, chic looks, there was something for every taste, beautifully presented to inspire and delight. The models, a testament to local talent and enthusiasm, brought the clothes to life with their poise and confidence.
Guiding us seamlessly through the evening was our wonderful compere, whose engaging introductions and warm presence added an extra layer of sparkle to the show. A massive thank you to our compere and all our brilliant models – you were all absolutely superb!
Discover your own style at Dee’s Den
All of the clothes and accessories showcased on the catwalk came from our very own charity shop, Dee’s Den. We are so fortunate to have such a wonderful community that regularly donates lovely, high-quality clothing—we even receive designer items!
If you’re looking for a vintage classic or a designer delight, it is truly worth a visit. Every purchase directly supports the work of our charity. It’s retail therapy that gives back, so why not pop in and see what treasures you can find?
The heartbeat behind the hems
This annual event simply wouldn’t be possible without the dedication of an army of incredible people working tirelessly behind the scenes.
Our deepest gratitude goes to Sylvia and Joan, whose hard work over the months leading up to the event was invaluable. Their commitment ensured every detail was meticulously planned and executed.
A huge thank you also goes to Dani and Louise, whose combined talents created the perfect musical backdrop and a lively atmosphere from the mic. We also extend our thanks to Seva, Claire and Belinda for all their hard work and support. We are so grateful for their time and passion.
We also want to say a huge thank you to the fantastic volunteers at Dee’s Den: Lynda, Vivienne, Katy, Jane and Frances. Their ongoing support and efforts are the backbone of such events, and we are so grateful for their time and passion.
The Pear Tree Fund is fortunate to have such a committed Events Committee, and we must acknowledge their incredible contribution. Thank you to every member who came and helped on the night, ensuring everything ran smoothly. And who could forget the canapés? A special thank you to the committee members who generously donated the ingredients and their time to prepare these delicious treats, which were certainly a hit.
Finally, a big shout out to everyone else who played a part in making the evening such a success.
A truly enjoyable evening
We were so touched to receive lovely comments at the end of the evening from people buying clothes, who all said what an enjoyable time they had. The funds raised will go directly towards continuing our vital support for local people impacted by life-changing illness and bereavement, and for carers in our community.
