💙 A Very Honest Update… From Me 💙

This is probably one of the hardest things I’ve ever had to write, but I feel it’s important to be open and honest with you all.

I know I’ve been very quiet on here, and I’m so sorry for the lack of replies and interaction. Please know it’s never out of lack of care — quite the opposite.

After this year’s pop-up, I experienced what I can only describe as a breakdown. I gave absolutely everything I had — physically, emotionally and mentally — and afterwards, I just had nothing left. It completely floored me. I felt exhausted in a way I can’t quite put into words, and it’s taken me weeks to slowly start finding my way back again.

Behind Project Prom, I’m not just “Vicki who runs the project”… I’m a wife, and I’m a mum. And as a mum to a child on the spectrum, life can sometimes feel incredibly overwhelming. I’ve always tried to be the person who can juggle everything — spinning all the plates, keeping everything going — but the truth is, this time it all became too much.

And that’s been a really hard thing to admit.

I’m taking some time now to gently rebuild myself, to rest, and to focus on my family and my own wellbeing. I am getting there, slowly, and I promise I will be back — replying to messages, being present, and doing what I love again.

For now, I’ve made the decision to pause donations while I take this time to reset. Once all borrowed items have been returned, I’ll begin accepting donations again — likely from June — and I’ll keep you all updated.

Thank you for your patience, your kindness, and your understanding during this time. Project Prom means the world to me, but so do the people behind it — including myself and my family.

And if there’s one thing I’d gently ask of everyone, it’s this…In a world where you can be anything, please be kind. You never truly know what someone might be carrying. 💛

With love,Vicki 💙

✨ Last Day… The Grand Finale! ✨

Today we’ll be welcoming you all one last time for Project Prom 2026 💙

If you’re planning on borrowing a dress or suit from us this year, today is your final opportunity.

🕤 We open at 09:30am⏰ At 2:00pm we will be closing our doors for Pop-Up 2026.

We still have a great selection of dresses and suits available, all ready to be loved and worn on your special day. ✨

✨ Day 3 Update ✨

Today has been a little quieter — but we made the most of it! 💙

We took the opportunity to have a really good sort through all of our dresses, carefully arranging them properly on hangers, back into size order and colour sections to make browsing easier for everyone.

We also selected a number of beautiful dresses to donate to Alderbury Clothing Exchange (ACE), another wonderful local charity who have their own pop-up event planned for March.

We feel it’s so important to share the love and support other projects too 💗
Last year we donated to a secure mental health facility in Southampton, and this year we’ve chosen somewhere a little closer to home.
Community supporting community — that’s what it’s all about.

💫 A reminder that tomorrow is our final day.It’s your last opportunity this year to borrow something from us — we only open once annually.

🕤 Doors open at 09:30⏰ Last entry 2:00pm

We can’t wait to welcome you for our final day of Project Prom 2026 💙✨

We are incredibly quite today 😢

We’ve only had 1 dress go out. If you’re hoping for a quieter experience I’d definitely recommend popping in today x

✨ Day 3… Let’s Go! ✨

In the last two days, we’ve helped an incredible 67 students find their perfect dress or suit.

Don’t say it, don’t say it, don’t say it… 67 👀😂
(if you know, you know!)

🕤 We’re open 09:30 – 3:00pm
⏰ Last entry 2:00pm to make sure everyone has enough time to comfortably try things on.

We’ve got some very special helpers with us — our original OGs, the fabulous twins Millie & Sheila 💕

And of course, myself and my mum will be there… and let’s be honest, Mum is the queen of suits👑
If you need fitting out in a suit, she is absolutely your lady!

We’re also lucky to have some bonus volunteers joining us — wonderful students who originally came to find a dress and have now chosen to give their time to help others. That extra warmth, kindness and personality they bring is just so special to witness. 💛

We can’t wait to welcome more of you today. Let’s make Day 3 just as magical ✨💙

✨ Day 2 – Done & Dusted! ✨

What a fantastic day it’s been! 💙We’re so pleased to share that 28 students went home with a dress or suit today.

It truly is a privilege to be part of our teens’ and families’ journeys. Choosing a dress or suit can feel overwhelming — especially if you’ve never worn one before, and even more so when it’s for such a special occasion.

We’ve gently encouraged students to try new styles, embrace the experience, and sometimes step just a little outside their comfort zones… and it’s such a beautiful thing to witness.

Watching ducklings arrive and seeing swans leave. 🦢✨

A huge thank you to the wonderful girls who came in looking for a dress and ended up staying to volunteer their time — you were an absolute joy to work with. And my daughter has loved making new friends along the way 💛

We can’t wait to welcome new students and families tomorrow for Day 3!

See you at 09:30 💙✨

💭 “Aren’t you worried things won’t be returned?” 💭

It’s one of the questions we’re asked the most.

And if I’m honest… there’s always a small part of me that worries.

Every single dress and suit we have has been donated with love. They were once someone’s special outfit — worn to make memories, celebrate milestones, and tell a story. They’ve been kindly passed to us to be reused and re-loved, giving another teen their own magical moment. ✨

When a dress or suit goes home with a student, we are always hopeful it will be treated with care, love, and respect — and of course, returned.

But yes… it’s a gamble.

We run Project Prom purely on love, trust and kindness. 💛

Yesterday I found myself thinking — despite how many items we have, Mum and I can remember all of them. We know the colours, the styles, the little details. And this year, I’ve noticed a few missing.

That could make me feel sad.

But I won’t let it.

Because we don’t do this expecting perfection.
We do this because we have big hearts.
We do this because we believe in community.
We do this because kindness is free — and sharing it matters.

And for every item that may not return, there are countless beautiful moments created because we chose to trust.

That’s why we’ll keep going. 💙

✨ Day One – What A Start! ✨

Well… our first day was super successful! 🙌🏻An incredible 39 teens went home with a dress or suit today — which is just amazing. 💙

We were especially busy first thing this morning (possibly the busiest we’ve ever been!), so I do want to apologise for the longer wait times for the changing areas. Thank you all so much for your patience.

There is one important thing I’d really like to highlight…

Please, please remember to put dresses back where you found them and on the correct hangers.

Myself and our volunteers spent hours organising everything carefully into size order to make it easier for you all to browse. I was genuinely disappointed to see some dresses not being treated with the care they deserve, and in some cases being left wherever was convenient.

I truly cannot stress enough how important it is to respect our donated dresses and suits. These items have been generously given, and they will go on to help other students in the future.

We may not be a shop — but we absolutely aim to replicate that experience as best we can, and that only works if we all work together. 💛

We look forward to welcoming more students and families tomorrow!

🕤 09:30 – 3:00pm(Last entry 2:00pm)

🎉 Today’s The Day – Project Prom 2026 Is Open! 🎉

Today we open our doors and can finally welcome you all to Project Prom 2026 💙✨

🕤 Opening times:09:30 – 3:00pmMonday, Tuesday, Wednesday & Thursday (Thursday is our final day!)

Please remember — this is the only opportunity to borrow something from us this year, as we only open once a year.

A gentle reminder to everyone visiting:Please be respectful of our dresses and suits. These garments are borrowed and will go on to help other students in the future.

If you’re putting a dress back on the rail, please try not to step on it, and if anything slips off a hanger, we’d really appreciate you popping it back on. Every little bit of care makes such a difference. 💛

I’ll be doing my very best today to organise dresses into colours and correct size sections to make browsing as easy as possible — thank you for your patience while we keep everything looking beautiful!

We can’t wait to welcome you through the doors. Let’s make it a special week ✨💙
