SOMETHING SPECIAL FROM ACTION CANCER
YOU’VE BEEN PLANNING YOUR BIG DAY and now is the time to start thinking about what to wear! Who hasn’t been sitting there as their younger self day dreaming about wearing something spectacular on your dream wedding day? But the thought of the high price tag that comes along with it can sometimes turn that dream into a nightmare, until now! SOMETHING SPECIAL from Action Cancer is a new pop up bridal store that is opening on the Ormeau Road in Belfast on Friday 14th February 2020. Action Cancer is delighted to offer this unique wedding shopping experience to everyone in Northern Ireland who is looking for that SOMETHING SPECIAL for their big day and encourages you to Re-Love Pre-loved.
Over the past 18 months Action Cancer has been receiving some wonderful donations of ex sample wedding gowns from bridal retailers across Northern Ireland. With something to suit everyone’s style and taste whether you are looking for taffeta or tulle you are guaranteed to not only fall in love with the dress but the prices as well! All of the gowns being sold are priced from £50-£500, massive savings on the RRP.
Climate change and fashion waste is one of the hot topics of the new decade and the wedding fashion industry has one of the biggest rates of throw away fashion with the majority of wedding gowns only being worn once and Action Cancer is here to do a tiny bit to help combat this.
“With the rising cost of weddings and the growing impact that throw away fashion is having on the environment we want everyone to think about making their
wedding gown purchase more sustainable without scarifying on quality, style or settling for second best!” says Katherine Young from Action Cancer, “We will be selling pre-loved wedding gowns as well as a huge selection of ex sample wedding gowns, from designers such as Maggie Sottero, Ronald Joyce, Enzonai and many more at a fraction of the original price! We are here and support. Action Cancer provides digital breast screening, support and therapeutic services, M.O.T Health Checks and Health Promotion Programmes.
In Northern Ireland someone receives a cancer diagnosis every hour of every day and one in two of us will receive a cancer diagnosis in our lifetime. While cancer rates are on the increase, early detection and improved treatments means that survival rates are improving. Their services have never been needed more.
to help keep your wedding budget under control, contribute to saving the planet and support a local charity.”
Action Cancer is Northern Ireland’s leading, local cancer charity. With the mission to save lives and support local people through cancer awareness, prevention, detection Action Cancer delivers their services form Action Cancer House in Belfast and on board their mobile unit, the Big Bus, which travels to 225 locations throughout Northern Ireland annually. As well as operating out of Action Cancer House, their therapeutic services have a regional presence and they deliver health promotion programmes to schools, community groups and workplaces all across Northern Ireland.
All money raised for Action Cancer stays in Northern Ireland to support local people. If you needed more of a reason to call into this new bridal store then this has to be it! A beautiful wedding gown and all proceeds going to support this fantastic local charity.
