A FAIRTRADE fashion show with a cultural twist will mark the end of Black History Month.

Greenwich Heritage Centre will host the show on October 30 as part of Greenwich borough's month-long black culture celebrations.

Fashion students from Greenwich Community College will model their own Fairtrade multi-cultural clothing during an evening of entertainment including dances from Greenwich Dance Agency and a ten-minute musical by Greenwich Theatre pupils.

Greenwich Council cabinet member for culture and Olympics, Councillor John Fahy, said: β€œIt’s extremely pleasing to have a Fairtrade event take place as part of Black History Month.

"Fairtrade helps thousands of people in the developing world build a better life for themselves and their wider communities.

"Raising awareness of the campaign as part of such a high-profile month can only help in getting even more people involved.”
