A Keighley teenager who volunteers in the town’s Oxfam shop organised a fashion show in aid of the charity.
Asima Bibi, 18, planned the event at University Academy Keighley, with support from staff and fellow students.
The event – entitled West Meets East – raised £411 as part of Oxfam’s Feed A Community campaign to help underdeveloped countries.
Asima regularly volunteers at the Oxfam shop in Low Street, and has applied to the charity’s Retail Trainee Programme.
Shop manager, Paula Whitehead, surprised Asima during the fashion show by nominating her for the Charity Retail Association’s Young Volunteer 2013 award.
Paula said: “The evening was fabulous, and £411 raised on the night will help feed 58 families in an impoverished area.”
Asima wanted to thank all those who helped, including the models, make-up team and singer. Shimla Spice and Keighley Picture House donated prizes.
