I became involved in the Underground Fashion Show when I entered my seventh-form ball gown into the previous Glamour section in 2008, winning the division. In 2009 I accepted the offer to join the Underground Youth Committee as I wanted to gain more experience and confidence in supporting, helping and communicating with people and now being on this committee has became an addiction! My role this year is to assist with the Clubhouse running, relating to the art/design aspects of the show.
