Maggie said: “One of us had been to a Colours Fundraising Fashion Show outwith the Kingdom and thought it would be great to have an event like this in Fife.

“It will be a fun night and those attending can bag some amazing bargains from well known quality brands of the High Street and most importantly raise some funds for Maggie’s Fife.

“There will be a fashion show run by Colours and after this their rails of discounted clothing, will be available to try and buy. Payment with cash, card or cheque will all be accepted.

“The catwalk show features ladies fashion from household name brands at 50 per cent off the RRP or more. After the show, all styles from the catwalk are available to buy with a range of sizes available.

“We will also have a select choice of local businesses: Jean @Uptown Girl will be there with her range of Joe Browns Shoes and Bags plus a selection of perfumes. Rachael Jayne of Chanix Millinery will be there with her range of fascinators and hatinators.”

She continued: “The shop at The Kingswood will have a selection of accessories from their extensive range and we will also have the group of Made for Maggie’s volunteers who will have their creations for sale.”

Maggie said the group have personal reasons why they want to fundraise for Maggie’s Fife. She said: “We have all known family or friends affected by cancer and how valuable the work of Maggie’s is for everyone from the individual with cancer to their family and friends who all need support.

“Maggie’s is there for them all and helps with every aspect of life after such a diagnosis from the psychological and emotional support to providing help with financial matters.”
