A CHARITY fashion show will take place in Southend next week to refurbish a charity’s base and help it continue its vital work.

The Raise the Roof fashion show will be held at the Kursaal Function Suite, Eastern Esplanade, in aid of the Storehouse.

The project provides support for the needy and homeless in Southend through foodbanks and other structured activities.

But the roof of the building it uses is deteriorating and needs around £6,000 to £7,000 to carry on doing its work.

This Thursday’s fashion show promises to be fun for all the family and costs £12.50 per person – including a reception drink and buffet.

There will also be an opportunity to buy outfits featured in the show at auction.
