Drapers Conscious Fashion Awards: Industry Gives Back, Raising £2,200 for FTCT

Last night marked another unforgettable evening for us at FTCT as we were chosen charity partner for the Drapers Conscious Fashion Awards, for the second consecutive year. The support we've received from everyone at the event was truly heartwarming.

We are thrilled to announce that £2,200 was raised, thanks to the generosity of all the attendees. Your contributions will make a significant difference to the lives of children and young people, and we are deeply grateful for your support.

The evening brought together an incredible group of companies from the UK and Ireland’s fashion retail industry. As the official charity partner, we had the privilege of hosting a champagne draw and charity raffle, featuring magnificent prizes generously donated by our supporters: Boden, Anthropologie, LK Bennett, The White Company, M&S and Stuart Trevor.

Our amazing volunteers

Sianna, Scarlett, Shannae, Faron, Angel, Alex, Sulanya (pictured) worked tirelessly throughout the night, selflessly dedicating their time to help fundraise. Their hard work and enthusiasm were key to making the event such a success.

At FTCT, our mission remains clear: to ensure every child has the chance to thrive. The funds raised last night will be used to provide life-changing essentials for children in need, including school uniforms, bedding, washing machines, and therapy.

A special thank you goes out to the Drapers team for their continued support. It’s an honour to be their charity partner once again this year, and we’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to raise awareness about the vital work FTCT does within the fashion industry.

Thank you to Drapers and everyone who contributed to making last night such a success.
