The Marriott Leeds, Wednesday, November 15, 2023

Smart Works Leeds, the charity that dresses and coaches unemployed women for interview and job success, is to host a major fundraising ball and awards ceremony to celebrate its fourth anniversary.

Taking place at The Marriott Leeds on November 15, organisers say it will be a glamorous celebration of Yorkshire fashion, hosted by a team of super-stylish Yorkshire personalities and special guests.

Attendees are encouraged to dress in a way that makes them feel confident and tells a story. Smart Works Leeds co-chair of trustees Tracy Fletcher says: “We invite you to wear that outfit you never thought you would, that has perhaps been stored in your wardrobe for too long, or it might be a favourite piece that reminds you of a wonderful time.”

The awards will honour supporting businesses alongside fashion designers, influencers, stylists and retail outlets that give back to their communities and show sustainability awareness.

There will be a reception, three-course meal and dancing. Smart Works Leeds co-chair Helen Oldham says: “It will be a night of magic moments, so everyone leaves feeling empowered and inspired.”
