Light up a young person's Prom night - with the gift of pre-loved formal wear!

The hugely successful Prom Pop Up appeal is returning, to help ensure every young person can shine on prom night with an outfit of their dreams.

Donations of dresses, suits, shirts, waistcoats, ties, jumpsuits, jackets, shoes and anything else that may make a young person feel pampered and dapper is being sought.

Last year, 36 young people benefitted from pre-loved formal wear, with almost 100 outfits kindly donated by members of the public.

With cost of living an ongoing issue for many local families, it’s hoped we’ll see the same great level of support for this year’s appeal.

Staff can bring in their donations to a specially set up table in the Customer Services reception area in School Place.

Your help will mean every young person can step out to their prom in style.

It’s also reuse at its sparkly best!

Pop Up fittings will take place in secondary schools this year, to make it easy for young folk to access – watch this space and school facebook pages for details on when and how students can book private time slots for choosing their outfits. The planned dates are:

• Stromness Academy Wednesday 17th April
• Kirkwall Grammar School Thursday 18th April.

Thank you in advance for helping our young folk shine on Prom night 2024!
