STAFF and volunteers at a Wyre Forest charity have been strutting their stuff in preparation for a fashion show fund-raiser tonight.

Home-Start Wyre Forest is hosting the evening, which will feature four different models showing off a wide selection of women's clothes, courtesy of Travel with Fashion.

The models will parade down the centre of the ballroom at Stourport Manor Hotel and are excited about taking part, according to the show's organiser.

Home-Start Wyre Forest manager, Belinda Darby, said: "The two members of staff who are taking part can barely contain their excitement.

"I don't think they thought this was in their job description when they started here.

"They have been allowed to do as much improvised practice around the office as they liked. I have been really impressed by what I have seen. They have been making sure their hip movements are in working order."

Tickets can be obtained on the night or by calling Home-Start on 01562 825896.

One hundred tickets have been sold so far. The show starts at 7.30pm.

Home-Start is the country's leading family support charity and the Wyre Forest scheme supported 162 families with 345 children last year, through a team of 80 volunteers.
