Background story

Chris Newport was a very glamorous woman. She loved her

clothes and jewellery, always had her hair done and make up on and was often stopped by strangers and complimented on how lovely she looked.

We received the devastating news April 2016 that our mum had

a terminal brain tumour. We lost her 18 August 2017.

I organised my first SWISH in March 2017 while she was going

through her treatment after I'd helped her have a sort out of her wardrobes. She was delighted that her things were able to be part of the fundraising activity. Her clothes and jewellery are proudly worn by members of my community and I'm sure she'd be happy that they are continuing to be enjoyed.

I've since gone on to organise several more events in her memory, totalling around £12k. I'd love to raise £2k at this event and top our best total if possible.

Please donate if you can, I'm looking for cash and raffle

prizes.

The SWISH event will be Sat 3rd Feb 2023 2-4pm at

the United Reformed Church, Sherwood, Nottingham, NG5 3AA
