STAFF at Kemp Hospice have been eagerly anticipating the charity's annual fashion show by modelling some of the featured outfits at their store in Kidderminster town centre.

Kemp Hospice's annual fashion show takes place at Kidderminster Town Hall on Wednesday, November 1, from 7.30pm.

And in anticipation for the big event, staff entertained shoppers passing the charity's Coventry Street store by modelling some of the clothing which will be featured.

Marilyn Motteram, shop manager, said: "People walking past the shop did a double take and stopped in their tracks when they saw the shop window mannequins move.

"It was great for the models to see their reactions."

Every year, the fashion show event raises thousands of pounds to support the work of Kemp Hospice with local people and this year promises to be another amazing success.

Event organiser, Lilian Griffiths, added: "Each year we need to come up with new and exciting ideas as many of our audience come year after year, so their expectations are high.

"Each section of the show has a theme, with the donations centre team starting to collect stock for our next year's show straight after our last show.

"Please, if you haven't been before, do come along as it is always a great evening with an amazing fun atmosphere, and after the show there's the opportunity to select and buy yourself a new fabulous outfit or two."

Kemp Hospice's services are provided free of charge, but need local support to raise £700,000 each year to meet the continuing needs of the community.
