Cultural Style Week founder Candy-Ellie Graham, said: “To date, all of our UK activities have been in London. It brings me great delight to be able to partner with Ebony Milestone events and host a pre-week activity in Leeds. My hope is that people from all backgrounds will get involved and also feel inspired to host their own national dress celebrations across the week.”
She added:"We have included a new fundraising drive for 2023 so that participants can support Refugee Action and Refugee Education UK who do great work to help displaced people.”
