1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Proposal This report is an outline of a planned event that has the main objective of raising not only general awareness of the charity TRAID, but also of the work that they have done and continue to do. By capitalising on and reiterating the TRAID brand objectives, this event will raise funds of over £2,000 and highlight the importance of recycling, up-cycling and purchasing second hand clothing.
1.2 About TRAID 1.2.1 Brand Vision TRAID aims to “make the nations unwanted clothes matter” (TRAID, 2012. Online) by diverting unwanted textiles away from landfill sites. (FIG 1)
1.2.2 Brand Objectives TRAID’s three main objectives are; • Protecting the environment by diverting clothes and shoes from landfill. • Reducing world poverty by raising funds for overseas development projects. • Educating the UK public on environmental and world poverty issues. (TRAID, 2012. Online)
[FIG 1]
1.2.3 What does TRAID do? TRAID aim to protect the environment through the encouragement of textile recycling. They rely heavily on clothing donations via their textile banks and the donated clothing is then individually hand sorted and either sold in one of their ten London stores, up-cycled as part of their TRAIDremade range (FIG 2), or sold to wholesalers and used for a variety of new purposes. (TRAID, 2012. Online) The funds raised help to support their on-going projects, fighting global poverty and injustice in the textile supply chain.

2. METHODOLOGY
In order to ensure that this report contains information that is factual, up to date and relevant to the event, various research methods have been employed. Both primary and secondary research has been carried out to assist with any decisions that have been made, allowing the proposed event to be as successful as possible. Primary research was carried out in the form of a focus group and an online survey, with supportive secondary research found through conventional websites, books and articles. These have been used in order to achieve a holistic view of the variety of subjects expanded on in this report.

3. RESULTS AND FINDINGS
3.1 Primary Research To plan this event successfully, two types of primary research have been conducted, including; an online survey, targeted at both genders aged 18-25, and a focus group with six university students. A focus group has been utilised as a form of qualitative research, providing meaningful data that when analysed gives a deep insight into the research topic. An online survey has been also been undertaken as a method of quantitative research gaining lots of responses quickly and easily. By asking students on Facebook to complete the online questionnaire, we have been able to speak directly to the target market and discover their opinions about charity buying habits and donating unwanted clothing.

4. DISCUSSION
4.1 Event Rationale The primary focus of this event is to raise money for TRAID whilst educating student consumers about where the textile recycling banks are located in Nottingham and the exploitation of workers and damaging environmental practices that take place at the beginning of the fashion cycle. Whilst the message that is currently being communicated by TRAID is a serious one, primary research indicates that in order to target the student demographic effectively, a fun fashion and music event (FIG 5) will generate a better response than a purely informative day event. When organising this event, various considerations have been taken into account, particularly regarding capacity, time constraints, budgeting issues and the requirements of our target market, students. For example, as the event will take place during university exam time, an evening event is far more likely to be successful, as many students will be revising or taking exams during the day.
4.2.1.i New Logo A new sub-brand logo has been created to differentiate “Cotton On To TRAID” from the main TRAID brand in a subtle and cohesive way. This new logo (FIG 6) is based on the original TRAID logo, with the addition of a cotton reel [FIG 6] with green thread winding around the swing tag. As well as being a literal interpretation of the thread “Cottoning On To TRAID” this logo also references the work that TRAID currently does to highlight the negative impacts of the cotton industry.
4.2.2 “Dancing Through the Decades” The first evening event that we intend to host under the ‘Cotton On To TRAID’ sub-brand is called ‘Dancing Through The Decades’. Primary research highlighted that students enjoy night-time events which feature a combination of both music and fashion. We propose a night-time event, featuring several DJ’s playing music from different decades and musical eras. The evening will begin with a modern take on jazz and swing music from the 1920’s and progress throughout the night to the current decade. The resurgence in popularity of “Vintage” as a trend has helped to boost the acceptance of not only second hand clothing, but also of listening to music of past eras. This trend, therefore, makes it the optimum time to organise such a night.
[FIG 5] 4.2.3 Competition As Nottingham Trent University has a large Art and Design faculty, this department will be utilised to not 4.2 What? only promote and get more students involved with 4.2.1 “Cotton On To TRAID” the event, but also to add an extra dimension to the We have identified that the TRAID brand could benefit evening. from the creation of a sub-brand, differentiating A competition has been devised to run alongside the the fund raising objective of the charity from the educational aims and creating a long-term plan of organising future events connecting with a new demographic. “Cotton On To TRAID” has been created to focus on raising awareness and money, through organising events. “Cotton On To TRAID” can then be free to organise a variety of events that encourage members of the public to get involved in an easy and fun way, whilst supporting TRAID and allowing the main body of the charity to focus on their humanitarian efforts. 16.

other pre-event promotion, involving first year Nottingham Trent Fashion Design students (FIG 7). For this competition, these students will be promoting up-cycling by designing and creating a garment which will be made out of any used or unwanted textiles, ranging from old clothing to obscure materials such as crisp wrappers. (See appendix 6.3 for full brief) In addition to the garments, participants will also be required to submit photographs of the materials in their original state and evidence of their creative thought process, for example, with a moodboard. The competition will be briefed to the students before the Easter break, as they will then have sufficient time to create the garment before the closing date of Wednesday 2nd May. All entries to the competition will be showcased at the event, with the garments being hung from the ceiling, creating a focal point. The garments will have been judged by various experienced representatives in the fashion industry, and the winning entry will be announced on the night. The winning garment will be displayed in the window of the TRAID store in Camden, London, along with the designer’s name, followed by “Fashion Design Student, Nottingham Trent University”.
4.2.4 Interactive Activities As the title of the event is “Dancing Through The Decades”, the night will have a vintage feel and the interactive activities within the event will reflect this theme. • “Deck Out In A Decade” will be a clothing booth in which attendees can try on various vintage hats and clothing and have their photo taken either alone or with friends as an alternative, fun way for attendees to connect with a particular era (FIG 8). The various accessories will be loaned (with permission) from the donations that TRAID receives. Alternatively, the accessories could be purchased or donated from other charity shops around Nottingham. The photos taken on the night will then be uploaded to the Facebook event page for all to access and ‘tag’. • A “Cotton Candy” machine not only ties into this event due to playing on the word cotton, which is one of TRAID’s key campaigns, but is also a fun and enjoyable activity that creates a feeling of nostalgia, which attendees can then purchase to further raise funds for TRAID. These activities will help to ensure that the event is memorable therefore raising and maintaining awareness of the brand.

4.3 Who? 4.3.1 Consumer Analysis The target market for ‘Dancing Through The Decades’ is approximately 450 students aged 18-25. Due to the broad nature of the event, we aim for it to appeal to both genders. This demographic has been targeted due to TRAID being a fashion based charity and the student demographic being of a highly influential age. In addition, it must be noted that Generation Y are the next generation of adults, with their actions and opinions being vital when it comes to implementing changes for the future.

4.4 Where? 4.4.1 Venue The event will take place in ‘The Rescue Rooms’ nightclub (FIG 10) in Nottingham city centre, situated near to Nottingham Trent University. This location is a venue that many of the students of Nottingham are already familiar with due to its good reputation and regular student nights. As Nottingham is a city, home to over 57,000 full-time students (My Nottingham, 2012. Online), we feel that it is a prime location for TRAID to target the student demographic. In addition, as TRAID has recently installed three new clothing banks in selected Nottingham Trent student accommodation, hosting this event in Nottingham will help to maximise the use and awareness of the banks.
[FIG 10]
4.5 When? This event will take place on Monday 7th May. This date has been chosen due to the availability of the venue and the Mayday bank holiday.
4.6 Why? The main aims and objectives of the event are to: • Raise the general awareness of TRAID within the student community. • Encourage both students and the general public to actively recycle and up-cycle. • Promote the locations of the newly installed clothing banks in Nottingham. • Raise at least £2,000 for TRAID. • Maintain TRAID’s brand identity and ensure that their aims and objectives are at the forefront of the marketing and promotion surrounding the event. 20.

4.7.1.i Bank Awareness Nottingham Trent University students have recently been made aware of the new TRAID clothing banks (FIG 11), which have been installed at selected university halls of residence, via the ‘Carbon Elephant Newsletter’ circular e-mail. However, we aim to further make members of the public aware of the banks through Facebook and clothing collections. (See 4.7.1.ii Clothing Collection)
4.7.1.ii Clothing Collection To further raise awareness of TRAID prior to the event, clothing collections will take place. Students and residents of Nottingham will be encouraged to search through their wardrobes and hand their clothes in to one of the temporary collection points that will situated in prominent places around the city in the week before the event, or one of the three permanent banks located on Nottingham Trent University campuses.

4.7.2 Promotional Material 4.7.2.i Print Advertising
[FIG 12]
Whilst large-scale print advertising, using billboards and magazine campaigns, can be an extremely expensive method of promotion, small-scale print advertising can be very successful, raising awareness of an event quickly.
4.7.2.i.a Flyers Flyers will be distributed prior to the event in areas throughout Nottingham, including the Nottingham Trent University City and Clifton campuses. Laws regarding the distribution of flyers have been taken into account and the police, the council and the NTU student union have been contacted in order to gain permission and prevent any legal issues arising when distributing promotional flyers. There have been four different A6 flyers created for
[FIG 11]
The tickets for the “Dancing Through The Decades” event will be wristbands, (see appendix 6.4 and FIG 12) acting as a method of both pre and post-event promotion, reminding the attendees of the event and reinforcing the TRAID name. Wristbands will be available from selected areas around the university, as well as online via Ticketmaster. The purchase confirmation code that will be issued when someone purchases a ticket online will then either need to be taken to an event representative to be swapped for a wristband prior [FIG 13]

“Dancing Through The Decades”, all with a central recycled theme, featuring iconic images from a variety of decades and musical genres including Pin-Up girls, “The Beatles”, “The Michael Jackson Era” and Hip-Hop. (see FIG 13-17 and appendix 6.5.1 for to scale flyers)
4.7.2.i.b Poster Posters will also be distributed around Nottingham Trent University, Nottingham City Centre and in shops around the Lace Market. Whilst a variety of flyers have been created, only one poster has been made ensuring consistency and recognisability when promoting the event. (FIG 18) The poster features a QR code, Facebook page address and logos of sponsors. (see appendix 6.5.2)
4.7.2.i.c QR code By adding a QR code to promotional material, TRAID will be using new technology to drive traffic to their Facebook pages, as the code can be scanned with either a consumer’s smartphone or tablet device. (What is a QR code. 2012. Online)
[FIG 18]
23.
4.7.2.ii Social Media As TRAID currently has a presence on both Facebook and Twitter, with 990 likes and 2435 followers respectively (Facebook, 2012. Online) (Twitter, 2012. Online), it is both cost effective and sensible to promote the event through these already established channels. An additional Facebook page has been made for the “Cotton On To TRAID” sub-brand which can be utilised to promote this and other events in the future and stay connected with attendees (FIG 19 and appendix 6.6) . The page will include extra information about TRAID, their objectives and how they achieve these. There will also be a “Dancing Through The Decades” page which will invite people to the event. Both the “Cotton On To TRAID” and “Dancing Through The Decades” pages will also display all the relevant information regarding the event, in addition to links directing interested attendees to the TRAID website, sponsor and venue websites and the Ticketmaster site to purchase tickets online. These links will generate extra traffic towards both the sponsors and the TRAID websites, allowing attendees to gain a greater understanding of TRAID’s work prior to the event.
4.7.2.iii PR
[FIG 19]
PR is an excellent, effective tool that can be used to promote events and encourage large numbers of attendees at a very low cost. To create lots of attention for the event and the TRAID message, various newspapers, magazines and radio stations will to be contacted and issued a copy of the press pack. Bloggers local to Nottingham will also be sent the press pack and students on the FMB course will be expected to talk about the event on their blogs.
4.7.2.iii.a Press Pack To capture the attention of the various media outlets that we are contacting for PR coverage, the press pack features documents that clearly reference the inspiration for our event and are cohesive with the “Dancing Through The Decades” theme. Whilst the press release is in a traditional format on “Cotton On To TRAID” headed paper, the invitation and TRAID information is designed to resemble an old vinyl record. (FIG 20 - 22) Each press pack will be personalised for the specific recipient, and the pack will be posted in a TRAID branded envelope. 24.

Included within the pack will be a set of business cards, one for each event coordinator, providing contact details for if the press requires further information. (For larger press pack see appendix 6.7) (For a list of the various press contacts receiving the pack, see appendix 6.8.)

4.8.1 Sponsorship and Donations In order to allow the event to be financially successful and achieve the £2,000 target, a sponsor could help to fund essential aspects, allowing all of the ticket proceeds to be donated to charity. A partnership would benefit both the sponsor and TRAID. Whilst TRAID would gain funds to run the event, the sponsor would gain direct advertising to over 500 students, the chance to improve their image with regards to corporate social responsibility and increase their profile in Nottingham amongst the student demographic. (See appendix 6.9.1 for full list of potential sponsors contacted) We have managed to secure a donation to cover all of our printing costs from MBE Nottingham and ‘The Rescue Rooms’ have agreed to provide us with a free venue, security and bar staff as long as 300 people attend the event. 25.
5. CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
5.1 Measuring Success To measure the success of the event, the level of satisfaction will be monitored afterwards through surveys and the increase in popularity of existing social media pages. In addition, the use of the TRAID textile banks will be monitored to identify if there has been any increase in the amount clothing donated.
5.2 Overcoming Obstacles Whilst planning the event, various obstacles had to be overcome with regards to original ideas falling though. Our original venue plan was to use a warehouse as to complement the recycled theme. However, this was eventually deemed to be unsuitable due to unavailability, health and safety and licencing complications. In addition, whilst the team liaised with Fearne Cotton’s (FIG 24) management for over a month, regarding Fearne DJing at the event, and there seemed to be real interest, talks ended when she had been booked for a paid job, rather than a charity one, on the only day the plans were feasible – Friday 11th May. All of these obstacles had been anticipated when first organising the event, and therefore alternative ideas were used to reach the final event we now have.
[FIG 24]
[FIG 25]
5.3 The Future Whilst the two year plan aims to increase the awareness of TRAID and the usage of the newly installed textile recycling banks throughout Nottingham, ultimately, the target of the plan is to create enough awareness and interest in TRAID to allow the opening of a store to be worthwhile. To do this, we recommend a variety of initiatives are completed, designed to raise maximum awareness and benefits for TRAID; • Flyers containing information about TRAID and the locations of the banks could be added to the fresher welcome packs. • A swishing party could be held in the Newton Building or the SU. (FIG 25) This should take place towards the end of term when students are beginning to pack up their clothes to go home. • To target a younger demographic, the up-cycling competition could incorporate local colleges that offer fashion and textiles qualifications. • During National Recycling Week, small banks could be placed in local high street stores to encourage the public to donate clothing. Donation could be promoted with an incentive such as a discount.

consumers and people from the textile and fashion industry. Prior to the event, brand awareness will be increased, encouraging recycling and second hand buying. Throughout this event, communicating TRAID’s brand message has been of utmost importance, with all aspects being planned to the raise awareness of TRAID, the clothing banks in Nottingham and the importance of recycling to allow TRAID’s valuable work to continue.

5.4 Conclusion TRAID is a charity dedicated to working to support projects fighting inequality and exploitation in the global textile supply chain. The charity is widely recognised throughout London due to their ten stores in various locations. Although lesser known in other regions of the UK, an event has been proposed in order to create maximum awareness amongst the student population, specifically in Nottingham. The “Cotton On To TRAID” sub-brand has been devised to develop a long-term sustainable plan for promotion of TRAID through various educational and interactive events. The first event which “Cotton On To TRAID” will host has been planned to create maximum awareness and gain a positive response from the student demographic. For this event vintage trends and music genres have been combined in order to create “Dancing Through The Decades”. To encourage upcycling effectively, a competition in conjunction with fashion design students has been devised. This event is designed to be a club night on a fairly large scale as to raise funds of £2,000 for TRAID. Various businesses have been contacted for sponsorship and those willing to contribute will help to achieve a successful outcome. Inviting media representatives will publicise TRAID to other 28.

6.2 Primary Reserach 6.2.1 Focus Group 6.2.1.i Results
Focus Group Results A focus group was carried out with six Nottingham Trent University students aged 20-22. The majority of these students, four, are currently in their second year of university with one participant in his first year and one participant in his third year. The focus group consisted of two females and four males, studying a variety of courses including: Sociology, Building Surveying, Interior Architecture and Design, and Business Studies. A number of topics were asked about including; • Familiarity with the charity TRAID? • Current interaction with charity shops • Views towards un-ethical brands • Giving unwanted clothing away if there was a collection from home • Views regarding a night time event in collaboration with a fashion-based charity None of the participants were familiar with the charity TRAID and none of the participants said they currently shop in charity shops. Reasons for this included that they are unsure of who previously owned the clothes and they believe the items are often out of fashion. A few participants said they donate some of their clothing to charity but not on a regular basis, perhaps two to three times a year at the most. One participant said she doesn’t personally take her unwanted clothes into charity shops but when they have garments they don’t wish to possess anymore; a family member will take them to charity shops on her behalf. All of the participants were familiar with eBay and some participants said that they have recently started selling their better quality clothing on eBay instead of donating to charity. When asked ‘If a brand has been known to use un-ethical production, does this influence your purchase?’ Most responses were ‘No’. As students, they looked for items that are cheaper, suiting their tight budget and a lot of the time this probably does mean that those clothes they purchase have been made in an un-ethical manner. It is believed that as you get older and earn more money your lifestyle changes, along with your buying habits, so you can afford to avoid stores that may have been in the press for producing their garments in unethical ways and with money not being such a high priority, there is the possibility of buying into more ethical brands if you desire. Most of the participants said they wouldn’t be more likely to buy items from charity shops if they were informed of where the proceeds were going. The fact that something is from a charity shop means that you know that the money you are spending is going to be donated towards that charity. The participants said that it wouldn’t make a difference which charity the money would be going to, unless for personal reasons, because primarily it comes down to the item that you’re buying rather than where the proceeds are going. When asked, ‘Would you be more likely give unwanted clothing away if there was a collection from your house?’ All participants answered yes as this would be of more convenience to them. In regards to a night out, the participants stated they would be willing to attend a night event in collaboration with a fashion-based charity with the preference of it being held in a night club. They would be willing to pay anything from £4 to £10 for a ticket to the event, depending on the activities available and the theme of the night.

6.9 Budget
Budget To cover costs, companies were contacted to enquire as to whether they would be interested in sponsoring the event. In exchange for the money/goods donated by sponsors, advertising space will be available on all of our marketing material and press pack. Unfortunately, we were unable to gain a sponsor and therefore had previously aimed to get all output for free. The venue agreed to provide us with a room, security and bar staff for free, on the agreement that 300 people attended the event. MBE Nottingham agreed to print all of our marketing material and press packs for free in return for their logo appearing on our advertising. Student photographers will be used to document the event and at the “Deck Out In Your Decade” photo booth, reducing cost. A small proportion of the money raised from ticket sales will be used to cover the cost of the wristbands. In order to raise £2,000 for TRAID, 342 tickets will need to be sold at a cost of £6.

It’s aim is to not only fundraise for but also to create awareness of the charity TRAID, which works tirelessly to turn donated clothing into cash and to change worker exploitation and damaging environmental practices that take place at the very start of the fashion cycle.
Whilst you’ve probably already had an email with the event proposal, in the box you will find more information about our event and the charity. We also wanted to give you a little present. We know how you love to bake but thought a box of eggs in the post wasn’t so wise. So instead we’ve included something a little more travel friendly, a mini sewing kit/an organic cotton reel. The cotton industry is one of the most polluting in the world, due to the pesticides and insecticides used, but organic cotton uses none of these, and is in no way inferior to its ‘standard’ counterpart. Just think of it as considerate cotton, much like yourself.
So if you want to get involved, and love the organic version of your namesake as much as we do, get in touch.
Best Wishes,
Lauren, Eleanor, Susie, Helena and Mike

Traid works with other charities to fund environmental and humanitarian projects around the world. Here are a few of the current projects: • Oxfam - Empowering Small Cotton Farmers • Save the Children - Textiles Without Child Labour • Fairtrade Foundation - Building the Capacity of Small Textile Factories to go Fairtrade • Nagorik Uggyog - In from the Margins • War on Want - Protecting the rights of Chinese Migrant Workers • EveryChild - Our Voice, Engal Kural • Fairtrade Foundation - Empowering Textile Workers
The charity relies on clothing donations, via over 900 textile banks, to carry out its objectives. The clothes that are donated are sorted and either put into their 10 London stores, up-cycled as part of the TRAIDremade range, or sold onto wholesalers to be recycled for a variety of new purposes, such as furniture stuffing and insulation.
Traid’s 3 main aims are: • To protect the environment by diverting clothes and shoes from landfill. • To reduce world poverty by raising funds for overseas development projects. • To educate the UK public on environmental and world poverty issues.
Traid is a charity with the aim of protecting the environment through the promotion of textile recycling.

6.11 HR The event will have five event coordinators; • Lauren Desborough • Eleanor Duthie • Susie Hull • Helena Jones • Mike Kim A team consisting of 30 members of the cohort will be working on the event, who will then be split into 5 sub-groups of 6 to help organise and run various elements, such as, advertising, ticket selling, PR, pre-event awareness and partnership liaison. This team of 30 will not include bar staff or relevant venue staff such as security and management, who will be provided by “The Rescue Rooms”.
67.
6.12 Health and Safety Health and Safety is a necessary consideration when organising an event such as this. Whilst all coordinators are aware of the importance of adhering to health and safety procedures, the majority of these measures will be covered by the venue staff, with door staff being responsible for not exceeding the maximum capacity of the venue, bar staff having the right not to serve any attendees who are aggressive or excessively drunk and managerial staff maintaining a high level of knowledge of all evacuation procedures in the case of fire or any other emergency.
