Freshers’ Week with GCFS
The Glasgow Charity Fashion Show has kicked off its tenth year with a fabulous Freshers’ Week. From fundraising for our charitable partner, Impact Arts, and sharing the crucial work they do; to getting creative and really representing the spirit and aims of the charity, it’s already clear that this year with GCFS will be a great one!
Freshers’ Fair
It was brilliant to see so much interest in Glasgow’s biggest student fundraiser at our Freshers’ Fair stall, where we met and chatted with so many of you about opportunities to get involved, including through modelling and becoming a society member. These are still open, with membership available throughout the year at only £5, and model castings taking place between the 23rd and 26th of September – don't miss out!
Tote Bag Decorating
Our first workshop of the year saw Leah from the charity help us to decorate tote bags with the GCFS x Impact Arts logo, giving us a first-hand insight into some of the creative work IA do. With creativity and expression at the heart of both the charity’s mission and the Fashion Show; our tote bag workshop was a first look into some of the exciting events we’ll be holding this year for an amazing cause.
GUU Beer Bar Stall
On Friday, we were in the Beer Bar painting your gorgeous faces and telling you all about the work that Impact Arts does. Thanks to your generosity, we raised over £200!
Kiltwalk
To finish off an amazing first week of events, some of our committee members took part in the annual Edinburgh Kiltwalk. The 21-mile walk around the capital allowed us to visually represent Impact Arts and share their message across Scotland. Through this event alone, we managed to raise over £2,200 for the charity!
