Volunteer at FSL (Fashion Show Live) (2017-05 – 2019-08)

FSL is a registered charity in Luton which provides help and mental health support to people of all ages who are abuse survivors. I helped to run a 12 week personal development programme which would differ each time it ran depending on the needs of the participants. We would use a number of tools including a Holistic approach to boost self esteem and give the abuse survivors the confidence to be themselves.

We also had guest speakers who would share their life experiences and give advice. At the end of the 12 weeks we would work with the local Colleges and University fashion departments and give their students an opportunity to showcase some of their designs in a charity catwalk which would have our course participants as models. This was a fantastic way to show beauty comes in all shapes and sizes and to remove the stigma attached with thin being the only beauty.

I had the role of Head MUA for the Catwalk and any subsequent shoots we had and would come up with themes and ideas for venues, hair and makeup. I left FSL due to moving from Luton to Rushden.
