SMILE London & Essex Prom Appeal

Published:

SMILE London & Essex have already had a terrific response to their Prom Appeal, with dresses, shoes and accessories being gifted. With around 100 dresses donated, they are currently not looking for any more but they are now keen to make sure that local families are aware if the service they are providing.

To qualify for a dress, the family needs to be on a low income and have a referral from their teacher or support worker. SMILE will then contact the family directly to arrange a dress fitting. Mum and daughter then get to go through the rails of dresses and try on as many as they wish until they find the perfect dress. They then take it home that day and it can be kept. That way the young lady always has a beautiful gown in their wardrobe for another occasion. They also have shoes, bags and other glitzy accessories to choose from and opportunities for hair and make up to be done free of charge on the day of the Prom in some local salons.

All referrals must come from a professional working with the family. This can be initiated by emailing [email protected].
