Style For Stroke

Jane Egan of Porthcawl based Designer Designs is organising An Evening of Style on Thursday 26th November at 7pm at the Hi Tide Inn, Porthcawl in aid of The Stroke Association.  The evening will include a bazaar of quirky, stylish gifts, ideal as Christmas presents, plus a fashion/style show with clothes provided by Designer Desires, styling by Elaine Boddy and Lisa Pauley-Cordes and worn by models from the Kirstie Howells Model Agency.

Jane Egan decided to organise a Fashion Show following her father suffering a major stroke earlier this year:  “Both dad and I were absolutely devastated. The advice and support that we received from The Stroke Association was tremendous.  The Evening of Style is an opportunity to say thank you, with all proceeds from the evening being donated to these wonderful people, to help them help others who find themselves in a similar situation.  I am pleased to say that my father has made a phenomenal recovery, although there is still some way to go.”

Louise Bennett, Fundraising Manager from The Stroke Association said: “We need the support of volunteers such as Jane to not only raise crucial funds so we can continue our work with stroke survivors but also to raise awareness of stroke.  Events such as An Evening of Style help spread the message about stroke prevention in the wider community and help us to continue our work with stroke clients and their families.” 

Owen Money, who himself has suffered a stroke and recently ran the Cardiff Half Marathon for The Stroke Association will be attending the event and bringing his daughter Katie, who will be singing for the audience. 

Tickets are just £5.00, with all proceeds from the ticket sales to be donated to The Stroke Association.  For more information or to purchase tickets please contact Jane Egan on 07917 691576 or enquiries@designerdesires.com
