PROM PROJECT
The Prom Project offers very low-cost loans of stunning prom dresses and suits to Year 11 pupils in our community. The aim is to make going to Prom affordable and enjoyable for everyone. Whilst it’s aimed at families who might find this expense too much, we deliberately do not operate a referral system, so it is open to all.
The 2025 season will be our third year of running this project and we are looking forward to helping another cohort of local pupils enjoy Prom without breaking the bank and, hopefully, in a more environmentally responsible way. We have over 300 beautiful dresses and suits available for loan. We also have a selection of shoes and bags. All our outfits are donations from our community, many brand new. For quality purposes, every item is checked and freshly laundered before each loan. We may also be able to offer alterations to improve the fit.
The loan of an outfit is an initial £50 to the family, £30 will be refunded once the outfit is returned. We retain £20.00 to cover the cost of cleaning, repairing and storing the outfit.
When: Our first fitting event this year is from 10am - 1pm on Saturday 15th February 2025.
Where: Park Community Hall, Lower Farnham Road, GU11 3RB.
Students will be able to browse and try on the outfits in a relaxed atmosphere.
To register interest in attending, simply book a free ticket and fill in a short form telling us a bit about the outfit required using this link: PROM 2025
If you find an outfit you like at the event, pay the £50 fee (£30 will be refunded on return of the outfit) and take the outfit home with you - or if it needs alteration arrange a collection date.
Enjoy the Prom! Then, after the Prom we will arrange a date for the outfits to be returned when we will refund £30 of the fee.
Simple as that!
