I’ve been waiting to share some highlights from the annual Action for Children Spring Lunch & Fashion Show ✨🌸

It truly was a beautiful day, supported by so many generous changemakers 💛

The host, Saira Khan, opened with words that really stayed with me:
“Because every childhood is precious.”

We closed the day with a stunning fashion show 👗—including a sneak preview of @somylondon’s newly released collection ✨

Such a special event from start to finish 💫

I was proud to attend the Action for Children Annual Spring Lunch & Fashion Show 2026, donating a prize to the silent auction ✨

Working with purpose matters — it’s about using what we do to support something bigger, to bring people together, and to help create real impact where it’s needed most.

Here are some moments from the sparkling reception — a beautiful start to an inspiring day.

Thanks so much to @oconnor4498 for inviting me and to everyone who made such a wonderful day possible.

More to come.

Last Friday, I donated a diamond to Action for Children — and had the privilege of teaching Nicola how to design a piece of jewellery around it.

But this wasn’t just about jewellery.

This was in memory of Rafael Daniel, who tragically passed away last week at just 16.

A beautiful young life, taken far too soon.

Rafael had faced his own struggles, and had recently come through them. There is something incredibly powerful in knowing that his legacy will now live on — helping vulnerable children who are walking their own difficult paths.

That this diamond, and what it becomes, will go on to change lives.

May his memory be a blessing.
And may this donation quietly, but powerfully, change the lives of children in his name.

And we’re off! Ticket sales are now live. I would be beyond grateful if any of you gorgeous lot can join me for our 2026 Spring Lunch. Anyone who knows me is well aware of how much this means to me and what an incredible charity Action for Children is. Helping the UK one child at a time. We’re under increasing financial pressure and events like this are a massive support to us. It’s also a fabulous afternoon and a whole lot of fun! Dm me for any more info. I have been on the committee for over 14 years and we have grown so much since those early days. And it’s all thanks to you. Thank you 🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼. Ticket link in bio

✨ An Inspiring Afternoon for a Meaningful Cause ✨

It was an absolute privilege to attend the Spring Lunch & Fashion Show 2025 in support of Action for Children, an incredible charity dedicated to changing the lives of vulnerable children and families across the UK.

I was truly inspired by the generosity and commitment of everyone involved, and I am beyond impressed that together we raised a record-breaking £130,099! This remarkable achievement will provide essential support to children who need it most, giving them the care and opportunities they deserve.

We were also honored to be joined by Helen Fielding, the brilliant author of Bridget Jones’s Diary, who shared with us her journey of creating such an iconic story and how it evolved into the beloved films. Hearing her insights was truly inspiring and a testament to the power of storytelling.

A huge thank you to the organizers for putting together such a wonderful event and for giving me the opportunity to participate and contribute. Being surrounded by so many empowered and inspiring women reminded me that when we come together, we have the power to create real, lasting change for future generations.

Did the flowers for the Action for Children Spring Lunch fundraiser and attended it too.
Had a table there with candles, vases , designer bags and jewellery from @bloomsburyflowerslondon @ladyflorauk and @theroom_london and @elustrejewels
Listened to a great conversation between TV presenter Anna Robinson and Helen Fielding, creator of the Bridget Jones series.
This was followed by a talk with Miracle, a lovely young lady who had had her fortunes turned around with help from AFC.
I was lucky enough to sit next to her at the lunch & hear the fuller story too.
On my other side, at the table, was jewellery designer, Charlotte of Lottie & Leigh.
The fashion show by Karina Bond was superb too, very artistic & creative and wearable.
All in all a fun day.

Charity fashion show with @karinabondlondon raising funds for Action for children in the UK @springlunchafc @actionforchildrenuk @grosvenorhouselondon
Hair @toniandguyworld @toniandguywimbledon
Thanks to my team of assistants for giving up their time to support and helping on the show makeup look designed by me.
I started my career in shows doing charity work and it’s always been a wonderful way to give back whilst being creative and learning on the job.
Doesn’t matter where you are and what you do charity work is always rewarding for the cause of looking after others if you can no matter what level it’s at. Everyone was giving in some way.

Thank you @artistrybysneha @ameliacarmelmakeup @samwalkermakeup @jadeemistry
