A BIG big thank you to the local volunteers who worked so hard to organise the Fashion in Action show held in May for ActionAid.

The event was a huge success and raised more than £1,300. Thanks to the generosity of the audience the money raised will go towards building education centres in Ethiopia during the next three years for 10,000 children and honey harvesting in Tanzania to help supplement family incomes.
