2024

Charity fashion show hosted by Stratford-Upon-Avon Flower Club for Alzheimer's Research UK

On Tuesday 14th May we held a lovely morning event at Stratford-Upon-Avon Flower Club where all ticket proceedings raised went to Alzheimer's Research UK. They are the leading dementia research charity and donations help them to fund life-changing research to help better diagnose and treat dementia. One in two people will be affected by dementia if nothing changes - either directly or via a family member, so this cause is very important to ensure prevention, diagnosis and cures are improved for the future.

Charity Fashion Show In-store for Soroptimist International

On Tuesday 21st May, we hosted a charity fashion show in-store for Soroptimist International. All ticket proceeds and charity raffle purchases were donated to Shakespeare Soroptimists for the Esther House Project. Founded in 1921, Soroptimist International is a global volunteer movement with a network of just under 65,000 club members in 118 countries. The Esther House offers safe, trauma-informed living space for a maximum of seven women to call home. 

The Esther House Project:

Phase 1:  Fit security gates at the back of the house to ensure the safety of residents.

Phase 2: improve the small courtyard garden at the back of Esther House to give the residents a space to enjoy fresh air. Some of the ladies don’t feel safe leaving the house and we see this work as critical for their wellbeing. We plan to clean, re-organise and plant plants and flowers.

Phase 3: Fit security lighting at the rear of the property.

2022

The Shakespeares Hospice

Claire in 2022 was a trustee for the Shakespeare's Hospice so we thought it suitable to name The Shakespeare Hospice Gemini's charity of the year.

In April, we supported The Shakespeare Hospice Friends in hosting a Charity Fashion Show Event! The event took place in the lovely Shakespeare’s Schoolroom & Guildhall which really elevated the experience. It was a huge success, raising lots of funds for the charity, with around 80 guests in attendance. 

The Samaritans

We have been donating lots of prom dresses over the last 12 months in support of the Samaritans Charity at The Pre Loved Emporium in Kenilworth  

Macmillian Coffee Morning 

Every year the staff at Gemini all like to support Macmillian Cancer Trust and donate what we can.  

Charity Raffle Donations

We are often asked to donate raffle prizes in support of fundraising for local charities, schools and other organisations. Being part of a local community in Stratford Upon Avon, we are always happy to oblige with either a gift or voucher.
