We Love Mike’s Fancy Dress for the Southend YMCA Charity Walk!

Mike Broomfield from the Southend YMCA recently took part in a charity walk along Southend Seafront, this wasn’t just any charity walk however - in typical charity walk fashion Mike was required to do it in fancy dress. However, what Mike would dress as would be voted on by some of the children at the YMCA - they voted for a Flamingo, as you can see below:

 

 

We think Mike looks fantastic, he even has one legged stand down to a tee! Mike has combined a number of our fancy dress costumes and fancy dress accessories here to make form the Flamingo look. A pair of neon pink leggings, alongside the pink flapper dress and flapper headband; topped off with an inflatable buddy for the walk.

 

Well done to Mike in raising money for Charity, and we were happy to be involved. Also coming up is the Southend YMCA’s ‘Sleep Easy’ event where each year they encourage people to give up their beds for one night and join everyone at the Head Office on Ambleside Drive to sleep rough with a cardboard box and sleeping bag - all to help raise money for the youth homelessness provision.

 

Individuals are welcome as are teams from local companies and businesses, the even is on Saturday the 16th May and all the details can be found at www.southendymca.org.uk/sleepeasy2015. Over the years this great event has helped raise enough money to refurbish two properties and eight bedrooms for the homeless. Get involved!
