Get ready to have your whips cracked and your rings mastered, because in just two weeks, on Wednesday 13 July, YTFN is going CIRCUS!!! Why? Y The Freak Not!!! So gents, squeeze yourself into some spangly tights, ladies, strap on a beard or two, and come on down to the City Arts and Music Project at 70 – 74 City Rd, EC1Y 2BJ (just by Old St Tube). Doors at 7 and projects at 8 (although you are of course welcome to come down early and raise a glass with the team.)
We are delighted to announce that three freakin’ fiiiine projects have been selected to present to you on the night:
London Citizens Living Wage Campaign working to persuade employers across London and the UK to pay their staff enough to keep them out of working poverty; the African Innovation Prize teaching young Rwandan students how to start badly-needed businesses to create jobs and futures for young Africans; and People and Planet empowering student groups in the UK and Canada to organise and campaign against the rights-violating and environment-destroying Canadian Tar Sands.
As always there will be lovely people, tasty treats (CAMP is definitely a contender for best burgers in London), fun and games, merriment and frivolity all round, with a healthy dollop of inspiration and the chance to support the fantastic projects above.
As always, your £10 entry donation goes directly to the project of your choice, and there will be volunteering opportunities too.
So put it in your diaries, invite all your friends, and come and help us put the fun in funding (and the us in circus?).
Love, hugs and robust and transparent governance,
Sophia, Liz, Annabel, Andy, Kelvin, Tillie, Matt, Aphra, Selin and Helin
The YTFN Team
