The Inaugural Fashion as A Force for Good Ball, will be held at The Marriott Leeds on 15^th November 2023. The evening will be a celebration of the very best of Yorkshire fashion, and the magical way that what we wear has the power to change how we see ourselves. 

The evening will bring together over 200 guests and include 8 high-profile awards celebrating the very best Yorkshire based designers, influencers, stylists and shops, who truly use fashion as a force for good throughout their work. They will be judged on their commitment to sustainable fashion, as well as their commitment to diversity, inclusivity and innovation. Awards will also recognise the amazing women and organisations who make the work of hosts Smart Works Leeds possible. If you would like to submit a nomination - click here!

The glamourous event will encourage attendees to dress in clothing that makes them feel amazing. We invite you to wear that dress you never thought you would, or celebrate a favourite piece in your wardrobe that tells your story. 

Attendees will enjoy a fabulous welcome reception, 3 course meal and dancing. It will be a night of magic moments with the ambition to ensure everyone in the room leaves the event feeling empowered and inspired.

The event will be hosted by Smart Works Leeds, and every penny raised will go towards supporting unemployed women to grow in confidence, get the job, and change their lives; all through the transformative power of clothing.
