The fashion showcase aims to be authentic when taking you back in time, it is fun, memorable and emotive. We aim to entertain and educate everyone from all cultural backgrounds and communities. To celebrate history by taking proactive measures to be inclusive, remove barriers to access and reach new and diverse audiences through the delivery of the showcase. At the events we provide the opportunities to up coming artists, performers and fashion designers to showcase their talents and skills. The project requires a lot of preparation and rehearsal time. The project requires purchase of vintage items to ensure the showcase remains authentic to it's vision. The project wants to educate people about black history through delivering the showcase e.g. performing in schools, colleges or universities. With developing organisational ability to deliver future events, including for schools and to support people with dementia. We are fundraising to be able to continue to pursue opportunities.

What we'll deliver:

• Black History event inclusive to all communities
