Drapers Conscious Fashion Awards: Charity Raffle Raises £1,000 for FTCT

Last night marked another unforgettable evening for us at FTCT as we were chosen charity partner for the Drapers Conscious Fashion Awards, for the third consecutive year.

This year marked an exciting new direction for the Drapers Conscious Awards—swapping the traditional sit down dinner for a relaxed, vibrant evening of canapés, cocktails, and networking.

The evening brought together an incredible group of companies from the UK and Ireland’s fashion retail industry. As the official charity partner, we had the privilege of hosting a charity raffle, featuring magnificent prizes from afternoon tea for two and a £100 voucher generously donated by one of our corporate supporters, Anthropologie.

FTCT rose to the occasion brilliantly, raising an incredible £1,000 to parents working across our sector, funding essential items for their children. It was a fantastic opportunity for connection, conversation, and even a touch of Dragons’ Den style inspiration!

Our amazing volunteers

Sianna, Chiara, Laura and Edra (pictured) worked tirelessly throughout the night, dedicating their time to help us fundraise. Their hard work and enthusiasm were key to making the event such a success.

The funds raised last night will be used to provide life-changing essentials for children in need, including school uniforms, bedding, washing machines, and therapy.

A special thank you goes out to the Drapers team for their continued support. It’s an honour to be their charity partner once again this year, and we’re incredibly grateful for the opportunity to raise awareness about the vital work FTCT does within the fashion industry.

Thank you to Drapers and everyone who contributed to making last night such a success.
