DAME BRINGS STAR QUALITY – AND DONATIONS – AS SHE OPENS CHARITY STORE IN FULHAM
GLOBAL superstar Dame Joan Collins brought her trademark glitz and glamour to Fulham on Tuesday (February 6) at the official opening of the newest Shooting Star Chase charity shop .
The Dynasty star, who has been a patron of the charity since 2003, used the opportunity to donate 500 exclusive items from her very own collection to the shop in Fulham Road.
The actress donated items to the shop she had previously worn and used, including a stunning black sequin dress, Chanel shirt and grey Lloyd Klein suit.
All items are now for sale at the store.
The star, who was born in Paddington, was joined at the opening by some children and their families who are supported by the charity, which provides care and support to children with lifelimiting conditions and their families.
Dame Joan said: “I began my association with Shooting Star Chase in 2003. As a patron, 15 years on, I am delighted to still be a part of such a special charity. I am thrilled to be able to donate clothes, shoes and accessories from my own personal wardrobe.”
The charity’s director of fundraising Karen Sugarman said: “She brings compassion, commitment and sparkle.
