2010 DATES FOR YOUR DIARY

Fashion gets a makeover at St Luke’s

FASHIONS get a facelift and St Luke’s Hospice gets a boost thanks to the efforts of South Yorkshire’s talented young designers.

Students from the University of Sheffield Students in Free Enterprise organisation are involved in a range of social and commercial projects which harness students’ entrepreneurial and volunteering spirit to make a difference in the local community and around the world.

But their latest scheme aims to raise vital funds for St Luke’s Hospice – and help the environment at the same time by recycling clothes that have fallen from favour.

They have linked up with the hospice’s Ecclesall Road shop to develop a project which gives young designers from across the region the chance to remodel stock and create stylish new looks that will then be sold to the city’s fashion-conscious bargain hunters Continues at Shops

Kevin’s American adventure supports South Yorkshire hospices

MANAGING director Kevin Sammons is celebrating his half century by hitting the highway…and raising cash for St Luke’s Hospice.

Kevin, who lives in Dronfield Woodhouse with wife Julie, will mark his 50th birthday but embarking on an epic 5,000 mile motorbike ride across the USA.

And the boss of the Alfreton-based Pub People Company aims to use the adventure to raise money for St Luke’s.

The trek will take Kevin from San Francisco in California to Baltimore in Maryland, a journey that will take in several of the USA’s most famous sights, including Las Vegas, Death Valley and Dolly Parton theme park Dollywood.

“I chose to support St Luke’s because a family member was a patient there and we have never forgotten how well he was treated,” said Kevin.

“I wanted my 50th birthday to be something special and I decided this would be the best way to make it memorable and do something worthwhile at the same time.”

Lifelong bike enthusiast Kevin will be joined by ten biker friends from around the country for the journey which will take a full month to complete, setting off on June 9 and returning exactly four weeks later.

“I’ll be targeting all the people I’ve had business dealings with over the years - the accountants, the lawyers, the bankers – and persuading them to give something back to two very good causes,” he said.

“And if anybody else wants to sponsor me I’d be happy to hear from them too. I have a Justgiving web page at www.justgiving.com/Kevin-Sammons-st-lukes

New looks for old at Hospice fashion show

GREAT fashion doesn’t have to be new fashion…as a major charity event in aid of Sheffield’s St Luke’s Hospice will demonstrate.

A Spring Fashion Show being held at Sheffield United’s Platinum Suite on March 11 will showcase the best of second-hand styles.

The event is being organised with the support of Jigsaw Events, part of Sheffield Hallam University’s Venture Matrix, the organisation that supports student entrepreneurs.

And the clothes that will be worn on the night by a team of 30 volunteer models will have been donated by students and lecturers from the university.

“There are around 30,000 students at Hallam as well as 4,000 members of staff so we’re hoping to get a fantastic range of clothes to suit all ages, all tastes and all pockets,” said St Luke’s Hospice Community Fundraising Manager Abigail Batchelor.

“The clothes will be available to buy on the night and any that are unsold will then go to our chain of seven shops across the city.”

Tickets to the event cost £6.50, with concessions at £4.50, and are available on 0114 235 7556.

Alan Titchmarsh supports Hospice Dinner

TELEVISION favourite Alan Titchmarsh will be the special guest speaker at this year’s St Luke’s Hospice Chatsworth Dinner.

The gardener, author and chat show host will talk about his life and work during the black tie event at the historic Derbyshire home of the Dukes of Devonshire.

One of the hospice’s most prestigious events, the dinner will be held on Saturday March 13.

The evening will be held in Chatsworth’s Carriage House Restaurant, by kind permission of the Duke and Duchess of Devonshire, beginning with a champagne reception in the Cavendish Room and followed by a three-course dinner.

Tickets cost £60 each and are available by calling the hospice on 0114 236 9911.
