A charity fashion show raised nearly £3,000 for charity at an event held by the University of Hertfordshire.

The university teamed up with the charity Helping Herts for the 'Spring is sprung' event, a sustainable fashion show raising money to support vulnerable children and families across Herts.

The event brought together fashion enthusiasts, students and members of the community in aid of a vital cause.

Over 90 guests attended the event, which was held last month at the universities Hatfield campus, and raised £2,800 via a combination of donations and ticket purchases.

"An impressive £2,800 was raised which includes ticket sales, henna tattoos, raffle, and match funding."
