Children in difficult circumstances across the North East will benefit from the hard work of a group of students who have raised money to help them.

Students from Redcar & Cleveland College joined forces with local businesses recently to stage a charity fashion show in aid of the Cash for Kids charity.

From the stage, which was constructed by students from the college’s Built Environment faculty, through to the finishing touches for models which were done by students studying hair and beauty courses, students from all curriculum areas were involved in staging the show which took place in the atrium of the new £28m campus.

Local businesses showcased their latest collections alongside the creations of students studying art & design and graphics at the college.

Over £200 was raised on the night, which will be donated directly to the Cash For Kids charity which supports local children of Tees Valley, North Yorkshire & County Durham who are either sick or under-privileged. 

“The evening was a fantastic showcase of talents from all the staff and students involved who gave up their own time to arrange and put on the fashion show.

“Our thanks also go to the local businesses from Redcar and across the Tees Valley who helped us to put on what was a very entertaining evening.

“We’re delighted that such a significant amount of money has been raised and that it will go to such an worthy cause.”
