BBC children’s television presenter Cerrie Burnell will be appearing at the Styled and Frocked fashion event at JuJu Nightclub, Kings Road on Thursday 28th April.
The Tree of Hope Children’s Charity has joined forces with the campaigning Models of Diversity for a unique Fashion Event to help raise funds for children’s specialist medical treatment and therapy in the UK.
One of the few visibly disabled people working on television, Cerrie’s appointment as presenter on BBC’s children’s channel CBeebies sparked complaints from a minority of parents. Subsequently Cerrie has spent much time campaigning to raise awareness on disability and the prejudice that surrounds it.
Cerrie has said ”I am delighted to have the opportunity to lend my support to a fashion event which will be celebrating models of all different ages, colours, sizes and abilities.” Adding ”It will be great evening and I am so pleased to be helping rasie raise support and awareness for the Tree of Hope Children’s Charity and the brilliant work they so.”
