Independent Project

Homeless and Environment

Raising awareness for the homeless and the environment by launching entertaining, fashion related events at the Clothes Show Live, in Birmingham, appropriate for the whole family.  Attendees will be urged to donate unwanted clothing to be given directly to the homeless to avoid negative disposal methods i.e. landfills and incineration.

Inspiration for project

A keen interest in charity and past charity work led to the desire to help others. Concern for the environment and the need for action to be taken to combat issues which are affecting the world.
