The team at Fast Forward 15 are celebrating their first decade, and have partnered with Newlife, the Charity for Disabled Children.
Newlife rely on retail donations, brand new goods from many major high street brands - preventing out of season stock and unwanted items going to landfill. Our aim is to raise £10k in clothes sales for them and raise awareness of the FF15 programme in the events and exhibitions industry, helping empower women.
The event will take place at Confex, while Confex is on, upstairs in the North Gallery Suites 12-15, they do also have a stand at Confex, B10C, all accessible via Confex, Event Production Show and the PA Show.
So, what do we have planned!
The Beyond Labels Boutique - bringing the excess stock from top retailers at discounted prices, a fantastic opportunity to get some absolute bargains while supporting to raise vital funds, helping to protect the environment and support the children and families Newlife work with, to provide specialist equipment. Our very own shop! (please bring your own shopping bag to support out sustainable initiatives)
In addition to this we’ve carefully curated content from speakers like Penny Moyses of Clean & Tidy Home Show, speaking on how to maximize efficiency in your workspace at home; Sophia Lorimer of Fine-Tuned Wardrobe, styling your new pieces; Dani Dawkins, the Master Upcycler, delivering an interactive workshop that's all about sustainable fashion and upcycling, and Mike Ford for an inspiring session dedicated to elevating your wellbeing.
But that’s not all! We have 2 drinks receptions, one on each day! Day 1: Opening drinks reception with celebrity guest Lucie Cave at 1:15pm, after hey keynote session “The importance of wearing YOU” sponsored by Mash Media and then Day 2: Closing drinks reception with live music and an amazing raffle, hosted by Full Circle.
ABPCO members can access discounted tickets, just £10 each which offers access to all the sessions, the Boutique and all ticket sales go back to Newlife, the charity for disabled children and their families – helping raise further funds for them.
