The response from Scottish creatives to the Silent Auction for Syria has been incredible! Buy your tickets from Eventbrite (link in bio) for this special event on Friday evening at The Hub, Edinburgh.
Scotland’s oldest bespoke tailor, @stewartchristie_co is proud to be associated with what they consider an essential campaign. As the winter closes in, fund raising has never been more important.
Established in 1720, Stewart Christie and Co. is the only tailor in Scotland operating a bespoke tailoring workroom on site. For this worthwhile cause they are offering a bespoke suit from a selection of fine British cloths, either for day or evening, town or country valued from £1600 - Although the higher your bid; the finer suit they can offer.
We would love to see you all there on Friday.

Infinite gratitude to Judy R Clark, Louise Ross and everyone who organised, supported, donated and contributed to the Silent Auction for Syria at The Hub, Edinburgh last Friday evening. You raised nearly £10,000 for the most vulnerable families, fleeing from terror. You have a very big heart Scotland.
Ønward!

We celebrate life, love and creativity. We welcome families who flee from terror to this land of freedom. This is our way of life, and when delusional cowards try to stop us, and bigots spread hatred and intolerance, we rise above them and unify in solidarity. On Friday evening, Judy R Clark and Louise Ross were working to raise funds for the most vulnerable at the Silent Auction for Syria, supported by families and friends. Our most talented designers, jewellers, painters, makers, tailors and photographers donated the most exquisite pieces and gifts. The response was totally overwhelming. It was my eternal honour to be MC on the night, and I am immensely proud of everyone who gave so much for those with so little.
Ønward!
