Meet the Directors
We are excited to introduce to you the directors of GCFS. These are a few of the many faces behind GCFS, making the whole process behind February’s Fashion Show run smoothly. They all work hard with their respective teams to create a wonderful show that will raise an impactful amount of money for our charitable partner.
We have a team of nine wonderful directors who we are so excited to introduce to you all:
Mia Hardie - President
“Being a part of GCFS throughout my university career has been such a fantastic experience and I’ve come to sincerely care for the society and its cause. From being a mere society member in my first year to Social Media Director in Third year I have learned so much about being a part of our community, fundraising for multiple worthy causes and dedicating time and effort in the name of making a change in our society.
Glasgow Charity Fashion Show offers the platform to not only build upon professional skills and fundraising but it creates a space in which we can promote a charity and its cause, sharing across our community meaningful initiatives from Glasgow based charities. As I enter into my fourth and final year at Glasgow University, as President of the society which has come to define my time in University, I feel proud of the committee I have collated as we kick off our 2023/24 charitable campaign. I am nothing but excited to see what we all achieve together in the coming year, I know each and every member of our committee is beyond talented and we are ready to take this year by a storm!”
Craig Strachan - Vice President
“I am Craig this years Vice-President! I am a 4th year Law student at GU and got involved with the society last year as a model. My role involves supporting Mia in the overall running of the society, keeping all the student unions happy and raising as much as possible for our charitable partner🔥🤚🏼”

Mimi Cartwright - Charity Director
“Hey everyone, I’m Mimi, your charity director for GCFS 2024! So excited and honoured to be working alongside you all in all things charity! The charity team works very closely with the charitable partner throughout the year and as director I make sure all fundraising is maximised and the voice of the charitable partner remains the core focus of our society. I ensure committee members and the wider student body are keeping up to date with the charity and fundraisers to support as much money raised as possible! ”

“My name is Maeve and I’m a 4th year English Literature and Spanish student. I’m the Creative Director for GCFS this year. That means I’m in charge of directing our shoots, leading the creative team and coming up with the theme! I was also on committee in my 2nd year and GCFS has been such a rewarding and enjoyable part of my time at uni. I’m so excited to be involved in GCFS again and can’t wait to see how much we can raise for our charitable partner!”

As marketing director, my role includes heading up the marketing team, creating a clear marketing strategy which aligns with both the creative theme and the charitable partnership, translating our charitable campaign into as many outlets as possible to help maximise fundraising and awareness. Here’s to a fab year!!”

My job is to ensure that the message of GCFS is clearly shared on all social media platforms so that students around Glasgow will get involved with GCFS. Whether it be by donating, coming to the show or to any of our events, I want to encourage as many people as possible to see the wonderful charity work GCFS does.”
