Over the last few years LOROS have watched as campaigns such as “Movember”, “The No-Make-Up selfie” and most recently the “Ice Bucket Challenge” have captivated people all over the world and as a result gone on to raise hundreds and thousands of pounds for good causes.
Well now it’s LOROS’ turn and they are counting on the people of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland to help put the FUN into fundraising this October.
Unlike other campaigns LOROS won’t ask you to strip your face of make-up, nor will they ask you to pour ice-cold water all over your perfectly styled barnet. For this campaign, LOROS want to see the people of Leicester glam up for “Frocktober”.
Frocktober will take place throughout the month of October and will encourage ladies and gentlemen to don frocks and take “selfies” of themselves carrying out everyday tasks, whether it’s; doing the school run, at work, walking the dog – or skydiving if that’s the sort of thing you’re in to! LOROS are also encouraging people to hold “frock swap” parties in their own homes where guests can bring along unwanted items of clothing and “Frock” the night away, not forgetting that any remaining items can be donated to one of the 25 LOROS shops dotted throughout Leicestershire and Rutland.
LOROS depends on the support of local people, organisations and businesses to help raise the £4.5 million needed each year to continue providing our unique care. Just £5 is enough to provide a LOROS patient with food for a day. So please support LOROS and help us to continue providing our specialist services to over 2,500 people in our community each year!

Let’s all prepare to #Frockthistown
