Set within the breathtaking surroundings of Coventry Cathedral, with its iconic stained-glass windows creating a stunning backdrop, this is far more than a fashion show.
Every person walking the runway has been personally affected by organ donation. From transplant recipients and living donors to donor families and community voices, each story represents hope, resilience, love, and second chances.
In a striking moment of unity, all garments on the runway will be styled in shades of pink, symbolising compassion, healing, life, and action.
Delivered by the South Asian Heritage Trust in partnership with NHS Blood and Transplant (NHSBT) and Coventry Cathedral, this event aims to open up important conversations around organ donation in a way that feels human, hopeful, and culturally relevant.
Why this matters
South Asian communities are more likely to need an organ transplant, yet remain underrepresented on the organ donor register.
One conversation. One decision. One donor.
That can change, and this event is about bringing people together to reflect, learn, and inspire action.
What to expect
✨ A moving fashion show featuring real stories of organ donation
✨ A stunning setting inside Coventry Cathedral
✨ Powerful storytelling and lived experience
✨ Meaningful conversations around health, community, and hope
✨ A chance to connect, reflect, and be inspired
Whether you have a personal connection to organ donation, want to learn more, or simply want to experience something truly unique, this evening promises to stay with you long after it ends.
