A charity shop influencer and BBC star is set to host a second-hand shopping masterclass in Teesside.

Jen Graham, known as Charity Shop Girl, will appear at Teesside Hospice’s Second Hand September Fashion Show on Saturday, September 26, at the hospice’s Portrack Lane Superstore, Stockton.

The event will feature a meet and greet, live talk, and a charity shopping masterclass led by Ms Graham.

She said: "I’m so excited to be heading back to Teesside to work with Teesside Hospice.

"It’s an amazing local charity that does such important work supporting people and families living with life-limiting illness.

"I love that their charity shops not only give you the chance to have a good rummage and find some amazing second-hand treasures but that every purchase helps fund vital care and support for local people."

The fashion show will highlight outfits styled by students from the Northern College of Art, using donated clothing with a focus on denim through the decades.

Ms Graham previously visited the superstore in April to help officially open the shop.

Tickets cost £20 and include access to the fashion show, the chance to shop runway looks, and meet Ms Graham.

Student tickets are available for £5, with all proceeds supporting Teesside Hospice’s end-of-life care and bereavement services across the Tees Valley.

Natalie Futo-Wallace, events fundraiser at Teesside Hospice, said: "We’re really looking forward to welcoming Jen back to Teesside and our Superstore, and hearing her top tips on how we can all shop more sustainably.

"We’re also so excited to be teaming up with the Northern College of Art students again.

"They’re such a creative group, and the pieces they created last year were amazing, so I can’t wait to see what they come up with for our shoppers this time around."
