On the FATWALK
Posted on
Fatbrain were delighted to sponsor the Leeds University RAG Fashion show last month. It’s the biggest event in their RAG calendar and has won ‘Event of the Year’ in 2008, 2010 and 2012. No wonder it’s held in such high esteem by Leeds students and the local business community.
Neill and Kieran were dispatched from Fatbrain HQ on Thursday 21 February to represent at a spectacular evening of fashion, creativity and glamour. They mingled with lots of beautiful (and friendly) people and got to check out some jaw-dropping designs.
Fatbrain were happy to be a sponsor – not just because we’re easily the trendiest book buyers on the plant, but because the charities which benefit, Candlelighters and Wateraid, do brilliant work.
Candlelighters is a local charity providing essential support to children with cancer and their families. When a child is diagnosed with cancer, lives are turned upside down in an instant. Getting well again can be a long and challenging journey, physically, emotionally and even financially, so Candlelighters gives the support people need to get through it. Watch this short film. That’s an order.
Wateraid’s mission is to transform lives by improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation. Their values are particularly strong– inclusivity in working with those in communities who lack a voice; always learning so that work is sustainable, innovative, relevant and effective; collaboration to make the most of diverse communities; being accountable and responsive to all involved; being inspiring and passionate; and finally courageous in setting ambitious goals. Right on.
