Carol Curtis, a volunteer driver with SWAN Transport, based in Radstock, recently organised a charity fashion show hosted by M&Co to raise funds for SWAN.

The event took place in the store on 26th September, and it raised just over £430. The event would not have been possible without the eighteen volunteers from the local area who modelled on the night, showcasing M&Co’s clothes to the delight of the audience. The SWAN Chairman was modelling the men’s range, and so all eyes were on Chris – being the only man in the modelling team!

Suzie, the M&Co compère, and store staff, made everyone feel very welcome and even made tea for the drivers, which was much appreciated. They had transported people to the show and could not enjoy a glass of wine.

A fantastic raffle added extra to the event and gifts were donated from a number of Radstock and Midsomer Norton businesses and individuals. SWAN’s thanks go to Bike It, Hair Razor, McColl’s, Bath Dancewear, No 10 Café, Headlines, Jacarandas, Wetherspoon’s, Keith Ingram shoes, Essence café, Oils & Coils, Pure Beauty, Midsomer Norton DIY, Rose Crafts and a number of individuals.

Sarah Oughton, SWAN’s Volunteer Transport Co-ordinator, said: “We would like to thank Carol, all of the people who supported us on the night, and to all those who gave their time to make the event a great success.”
