On Sunday, 29 September, the Nandi Charity hosted its third fashion show at Peiking II restaurant to raise much-needed money to help sick and abandoned animals in the Algarve. The fundraiser got a vital financial boost thanks to the kind donation of a visiting animal lover.
Lily Whitford decided to donate her wedding dress to Nandi. She recently married here in the Algarve, having won the dress from a top wedding boutique featured in Vogue magazine.
“I was extremely fortunate that I won the dress by entering a competition, and, with that in mind, I wanted someone else to benefit from my good luck. My parents live in Lagos, and my dad regularly donates to Nandi. I have two dogs and am a professed animal lover.”
The organisers, helpers and models were all Nandi volunteers or friends of Nandi. Through ticket sales, a raffle and the sale of clothes, including those worn by the models, a total of €1955.50 was raised.
Please keep an eye out for Nandi’s spring event.
