A FASHION show organised by Britannia International and M&Co has raised a total of £2,000. The event was held at Centre 21 in Douglas and saw models aged from three to 60 years-old taking to the catwalk in outfits from Douglas clothing store M&Co.
The money will be donated to Britannia International’s charity of the year, Manx Mencap, and clothing store M&Co’s chosen charities, Dreamcatcher Appeal and the Isle of Man Anti-Cancer Association. Britannia International managing director Mark Beresford joined the models on the catwalk, along with colleagues from local Co-operative Foodstores, Port St Mary WI, Hospice Isle of Man, Manx Mencap and children of staff and friends from Britannia International.
Money raised by the bank during 2011 will be used by Manx Mencap in its project to refurbish 22 community homes which allow people with learning disabilities to live independently of their parents. Organisers thanked the Co-operative, compère Wendy Campbell and A3 Marquees for their support.
