For almost six years, North Shields-based Live Well with Cancer has been a beacon of hope and support for individuals and families affected by cancer. Fuelled by a relentless commitment to meeting the unmet needs of cancer patients, the charity was founded by Maureen Elliott, a specialist cancer nurse of more than 30 years.
Now, the charity is thrilled to announce its highly anticipated fundraising fashion show, taking place on June 21st, 2025, at the Village Hotel, Silverlink. This special event will shine a spotlight on the strength and resilience of individuals impacted by cancer, as they take centre stage on the catwalk.
The fashion show will feature a diverse group of models, all of whom have faced or are currently facing cancer. This empowering evening aims to celebrate their courage and determination while raising vital funds for those affected by the disease.
In a commitment to sustainability, the event will showcase clothing from St. Oswald’s Hospice Retail Unit, highlighting the importance of eco-friendly practices within the fashion industry. Models will present stunning, pre-loved outfits provided by St. Oswald’s Hospice, adding an extra layer of meaning and purpose to the show.
With the event already sold out, anticipation and excitement is running high. To further support the cause, Live Well with Cancer is seeking a sponsor to cover the cost of tickets for all 20 models and is also requesting donations of exciting raffle prizes to help raise additional funds for the charity.
Maureen Elliott, founder of Live Well with Cancer, said:
“We are calling on local businesses to step up and support this incredible event. Our fashion show is not just about style; it’s about showcasing strength, resilience, and hope. A sponsorship could make a real difference by allowing our inspiring models to take part without financial burden. This event could be life-changing, not only for those walking the runway but for the wider cancer community that benefits from our charity’s work.”
This fundraiser promises to be a memorable evening filled with fun, laughter, and a powerful message of hope and resilience.
