Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 5 Nov, 21:09 · Archive

Yorkshire Cancer Research held a fashion show featuring 15 models in support of cancer research and those affected by the disease.

Yorkshire Cancer Research hosted a charity fashion show on 4 November at its new superstore in York. Fifteen people from across the region took to the catwalk in pre-loved outfits sourced from the charity's shops. Each model represented the statistic that someone in Yorkshire is diagnosed with cancer every quarter of an hour.

The event launched the charity's Christmas campaign and featured themed catwalks and speeches celebrating donors, volunteers and supporters. The show highlighted the environmental benefits of shopping second-hand, emphasising that purchases help reduce waste while raising money for cancer research. Models included individuals rebuilding confidence after cancer, those currently undergoing treatment, families marking milestones and people remembering loved ones.

Former ITV presenter Christine Talbot, a breast cancer survivor, hosted the evening. She said: 'When I was asked to host the Yorkshire Cancer Research fashion show, I was delighted. At this time of year, family and community take on even greater importance, and events like this are a wonderful reminder of the strength and generosity of people across Yorkshire.' Yorkshire Cancer Research has invested £99 million in research and services.
