Durham University Charity Fashion Show (DUCFS) has grown to become Europe’s largest and most profitable student-led charity fundraising event. Now celebrating our 43rd year, DUCFS 2026 continues to inspire positive societal and behavioural change through the vehicle of creative philanthropy.

Having raised over £1 million since 2017, DUCFS is one of the most anticipated and prestigious events in the student calendar. With a year-long campaign focused on charitable impact, DUCFS hosts a diverse range of events, including art showcases, discussion panels, student recruitment, and social gatherings. Our highly successful social media campaign continues to develop and amplify our mission, with over 1.5 million annual profile visits and post views and 21,000 followers across social media platforms.

Every pound raised directly supports our chosen charity, as we strive to create a tangible impact within the local northeast community and beyond. Culminating in a four-night show in February, DUCFS continues to grow in scale and influence.

Most recently, in 2025, we welcomed over 4000 attendees and partnered with over 30 industry leaders.

As we enter our 43rd year, DUCFS 2026 is bound to be bigger and better than ever.
