Last night we were back at the Drapers Awards, a night to celebrate the biggest names in the UK fashion retail industry. Thanks to our amazingly generous prize donations, ticket sales on the night raised over £7,100 to support our work. 

Now in their 33rd year, Drapers Awards are the "Oscars" of fashion retail, and the glittering presentation ceremony, dinner and party, at the HAC in London on 13 November, is the biggest night in the industry calendar, this year hosted by renowned comedian Josh Widdicombe. 

As charity partner for the event, we hosted a champagne draw and charity raffle with luxury prizes generously donated by our sponsors Boden, Anthropologie, The White Company,  Hush, L.K. Bennett, Selfridges and Coal Office Restaurant.

How the funds will help

Thanks to the generosity of the guests and sponsors, the funds raised will go directly toward funding grants that provide essential items for children in need. This includes vital resources such as clothing, appliances and bedroom furniture bundles to help children living without the basic necessities they need to thrive. 

Thank you to our volunteers

We couldn't have done this, without help from our incredible volunteers, Erin, Mariana, Aaliyah, Eloise, Alex, Sianna, Amy, Leah, Liliana, and Harveer (pictured above) who gave their time to help guests donate on the night. 

We would also like to mention a huge thank you to Drapers editor Jill Geoghegan and her team for their ongoing support. It is a huge honor to be Drapers' charity partner again this year.
