Beat recession with top tips at a special fundraiser

A HUNTERHOUSE College student is preparing to go on a summer expedition to Thailand in aid of The World Challenge expedition that promises adventure, history and an unbeatable cultural experience.

Amy Szymura (17) from Hillsborough, along with 17 others from her school, will be leaving their mobile phones behind for the three week trip on what promises to be an experience of a lifetime.

Part of their expedition will be working with pupils in local schools.

In order to go each girl has to raise £3,000 and to help reach this total Amy has organised a fund raising show with fashion and re-stylist Lucy Smyth at Lisnagarvey Hockey Club which is due to take place on Friday May 11 at 7.30pm.

Lucy will give fashion lovers and ‘Recessionistas’ advice on how to get creative and re-vamp their wardrobes at the fund raising style event.

The demonstration will give fashion tips and help you breathe new life into old dull forgotten fashions, ill-fitting favourites or bad buys.

Lucy is a fashion designer with 20 years experience who combines her enthusiasm and knowledge in presenting ‘Re-Style with Lucy’.

Tickets are £15 each, light refreshments included. Tickets are available on the following numbers: 07795 661893 or 028 92 682028.
