A FASHION show raised £2,000 for charity.

Models from Occasion Boutique, in Chalkwell, took part in the event at Maxims Casino in Westcliff.

The event was raising funds for Southend Hospital’s StrokeBusters Appeal to buy equipment for the stroke unit and rehabilitation ward.

Jimmy Howard, Maxims’ general manager, said: “It was a great thrill and honour to hold such a glamorous event on behalf of the StrokeBusters Appeal and Maxims Casino.”

Maxims donated all profits from the restaurant and the models gave their time.
