Published by Neil ThompsonThe countdown is on! On Thursday 20th May, the Fast Forward 15 20/21 Mentees will be bringing you a virtual night of fashion, fun and fundraising. The event is in aid of Newlife, a charity that is changing the lives of disabled and terminally ill children across the UK.
Guests will have the chance to bid on over 100 brand new designer items via our live auction, running through the award-winning platform, Givergy. They will also have the chance to enter our raffle with amazing prizes on offer, including hotel stays, hospitality tickets so much more!
“There has never been a better time to highlight the hard work that the UK’s key workers have given us over the last year, and at the same time support, celebrate and raise money for the fantastic Charity, Newlife. This event has been put together by our 2021 cohort of our not-for-profit women’s mentoring programme.” - Fay Sharpe, Founder of FF15
As well as the auction and raffle, the Mentees have curated a programme packed full of empowering words, moments, and even dance moves.
Taking to the virtual stage is a global line-up of fantastic people. Amongst them will be Courtney Stanley, award-winning changemaker and keynote speaker (USA), Rachel Stringer, sports presenter, and reporter (UK), and not forgetting a dance class with Lizzy Williamson, founder of Two Minute Moves (Australia).
“Once a trusted partner, always a trusted partner. Whilst it has been a couple of years since we have worked together, when our old client Michelle Wheatley reached out and needed help, we were always going to support where we could. However, she then told us about Fast Forward 15 and Newlife and it cemented our decision, we were all in. Both are fantastic causes which we're incredibly proud to be supporting.” - The Production Company, Sponsor for Fashion Forward 15
Fast Forward 15 is a not-for-profit mentoring scheme founded by Fay Sharpe in 2014. The aim is to give women the opportunity to be mentored, encouraged, and advised by an industry expert, as well as becoming part of a wider community.
