Ladies networking group The Athena Network will be hosting a charity fashion show and shopping evening in the heart of Warwick on the evening of 20th April.
With the help of two independent local businesses, the event aims to raise much-needed funds for two local charities run by Athena members, Hannah’s House, and The Luca Foundation, both providing essential support to families after the loss of a baby.
Visitors can enjoy sampling one of the many unique gin flavours that will be on offer at That Gin & Cocktail Company while they watch the fashion show, followed by an exclusive private shopping event inside NV Her and Shoe NV located a short walk away.
The mastermind behind the event is Holly Nixon, Warwickshire’s Regional Manager for The Athena Network.
Holly commented: “Athena is all about community, bringing women together and making new connections! I wanted to create an event that would support not only these charities but also the independent businesses involved too. We’ve got a great night planned, so get your tickets, bring a friend (or two), and come along to show your support.”
Founder of Hannah’s House Jessica Weeks said: “Our charity is all about offering hope and support to families following the loss of a baby. Through this event The Athena Network are helping us to reach more families across Coventry and Warwickshire during an extremely difficult time in their lives.”
Founder of The Luca Foundation, Sharon Luca-Chatha said: “Our aim is to ensure all Maternity, NICU and Paediatric wards have working cuddle cots, by funding the repairs, servicing, and maintenance of this essential equipment that the NHS have no budget for. These cots are vital to ensure all bereaved parents are given that precious extra time to say goodbye to their babies.”
The evening on Thursday 20th April begins at 6.15pm with mingling over drinks at That Gin & Cocktail Company in Warwick, followed by a fashion show and then an exclusive private shopping event in NV Her and Shoe NV located close by. Tickets are £15 including a welcome drink and must be bought in advance, with all proceeds being split between Hannah’s House and The Luca Foundation.
