We put on our first fundraising evening music & food event in 2015 raising over £1500 for two charities (Médecins Sans Frontières UK & Migrant Offshore Aid Station) that help refugees in crisis. We have felt the need to help charities that need the most immediate support during lockdown as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic by putting on an online fundraiser event.
This bank holiday Friday, we are going online on Zoom for an all-day festival event. The line up is packed with workshops, talks, fitness classes, live music, DJ’s & more, to help brighten everyone’s day during lockdown. We are raising funds for two very worthy charities, Refuge & Helping Hands Hackney, who need support at this time.
