Donate special clothing: As-new, quality clothing items from your wardrobe - think pieces that might still have tags on, items you'd be excited to discover yourself!
Clothing drop-off: We're accepting clothing donations until Friday 14th August. When you purchase your ticket, we'll email you the clothing drop off details for Jess's house.

Lineup
Raygun aka Dr Rachael Gunn | Olympian, Academic, Dancer and our Event MC
You know her as Raygun - the woman who walked onto the Olympic stage at Paris 2024 and courageously showed up authentically. Dr Rachael Gunn is an Olympian, academic, dancer and advocate, and we are absolutely thrilled to have her as the MC for our Daffodil Day Sip & Swap event this year. Rachael has always been a dancer, but came to breakdancing in 2012 at 25, entering a male-dominated underground scene, and never imagined it would lead to the Olympic stage. What followed was a journey of world championships, a PhD in Cultural Studies, and eventually, a global moment that sparked conversations about what it means to back yourself. She combines academic rigour with creative practice to challenge expectations and connect with audiences - and despite speculation after Paris, she hasn't retired, because as she puts it: "you don't retire from culture." Since the Olympics, Rachael has used her platform to support charities focused on mental health, women's shelters, and community initiatives. Through her speaking, she shares her experiences to help others build resilience, navigate social media, stay motivated, and think creatively. We’re so excited to have her host our night - one that is equally about fashion and fun as it is about the quiet strength of people touched by cancer, sharing hope amongst their community.

Caroline has a particular passion for pre-loved fashion, mixing high-end pieces with high-street finds and secondhand treasures to build wardrobes that are unique, considered, and great value.
