This year for Durham University's largest College Fashion Show, we will be raising money for Poetsin, a creative mental health charity. The charity was founded in 2016 by co-founders Sammie and Paul, who struggled with their own personal mental health and, through their own experiences, found techniques to keep themselves safe. As a result, they have created Poetsin charity which focuses on setting up programmes utilising creative practices, such as writing poems and short stories to deal with and support peoples' mental health.

As a result, this year, Collingwood Fashion Show will be aiming to raise a record amount of money to support the cause, and we will be relying on the Durham community to help and support us to do so!!!
