IN 1994, stylish models pulled on their glad rags to raise money for 15 local charities. The work and generosity that went into the project was praised by the community and those who benefitted from the work by the Order of the Eastern Star.

The people of south Cumbria have always loved an opportunity to get dressed up for a special occasion. That was evident in 1991 when a fashion show was held at Forum 28 at Barrow in aid of the South Cumbria Dyslexia Association. It raised more than £400 for equipment at Barrow’s new dyslexia centre at Alfred Barrow School, which was due to open that November.
