Fashion show raises more than £1.5k for Warwickshire air ambulance charity

Models showcase spring fashions at the Episode Hotel in Leamington in aid of the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance.

Supporters of the event at the Episode Hotel - which was attended by more than 100 people - included the hotel, Tustains Jewellers, LK Bennett and Esque Beauty.

Leamington jeweller’s Tustains’ director Tom Milner said: “The air ambulance provides such a valuable local service that, when they approached us for help, we were delighted to support their fundraising by selling tickets and providing raffle prizes.”

Liz Weston, the air ambulance service’s business development manager said: “The wonderful raffle prizes offered by local businesses meant everyone who came bought lots of tickets on the night.

“This event raised almost enough to fund a complete mission, which costs around £1,700. As a charity, we are very grateful to everyone who was involved in contributing to the success of the fashion show and we hope that we can count on their support again in the future.”
