Hannah Lucy Brennan, who runs Cassoni Photography, held a special event at Sleaford Legionnaires Club in February where she invited people affected by mental health issues for a free photo shoot and asked them to write about their own disorders to form a display at the Lincoln Trauma Centre.

Hannah has suffered discrimination in the past for her Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. She now uses medication to help with daily routines.

She is staging a charity fashion show at Sleaford Rugby Club on November 27 and is looking for volunteer models.

The event will run from 7.30pm until late and will have raffles, live music and a catwalk using only models who have had to contend with mental health disorders.

Hannah said: “I really want the girls to have a catwalk and for them to showcase their own disorder.

“I have a make-up artist and hair stylist to make the girls feel good again.

“I’m looking for a local clothes shop to donate clothing for the night too,” said Hannah.

The event is ticket only, but payment by donation. So, whatever your donation, you will receive a ticket.

All money will go to a local mental health charity.

Fashion shops willing to offer their services for the show, as well as anyone wanting tickets should contact Hannah through her Cassoni Photography and Modelling Facebook page.
