A fashion show has raised £2,150 for a food bank.

The event was held on Friday, April 10.

It was organised by Calne Food Bank volunteers and officially opened by Lady Lansdowne.

Lady Lansdowne encouraged people to keep supporting the food bank by donating.

She also suggested donating items that do not need to be cooked in an oven, as this can cost more for those receiving them.

The event was run by Sean of Get in Line and showed off a range of different styles on the runway, from casual wear to bridal outfits.

One of the highlights of the evening was a raffle, with the main prize being a champagne afternoon tea at Bowood House and Gardens.

The event also featured cake stalls, clothing sales, and Neal’s Yard Remedies products.

The evening concluded with an auction to make sure all the remaining flowers and cakes were enjoyed and not wasted.

Kevin Wells, chair of Calne Food Bank, said: “We are truly grateful to everyone who supported our charity fashion show on Friday.

"It was a tremendous success.”

The fashion show raised an impressive £2,150, which will help the food bank continue its important work in the local community.

People can donate to Calne Food Bank at collection points in local supermarkets or by contacting treasurer@calnefoodbank.co.uk for monetary contributions.
