A fashion show featuring clothes made from crisp packets, bottle tops and compact discs has taken place in aid of the Drinkaware Trust and the Make A Wish Foundation.
The show, held at the Leas Cliff Hall in Folkestone, was put on by young people aged 11 to  19 from youth project, The Shed.

All outfits were made from recycled, reclaimed and reusable items. Youth worker Emma Flower says: “They wanted to show that young people are not all bad and also wanted to do something about the environment, recycling and sustainability. "

"The show was fantastic. They did a really good job."

The event raised more than £300 for the two charities.

Key information about Drinkaware

Drinkaware aims to change the UK’s drinking habits for the better. We promote responsible drinking and find innovative ways to challenge the national drinking culture and tackle alcohol misuse.

An independent charity, we are supported by voluntary donations from across the drink’s industry to equip people with the knowledge they need to make decisions about how much they drink.

We also  work with organisations and individuals across the UK, providing accessible information about alcohol and its effects to employers, young people, teachers, parents and community workers. Using a range of mediums, such as film, multimedia and TV, we help dispel myths and present the honest facts about alcohol.
