'Afrodisia: Reloaded!' Charity Cultural Showcase

19/07/2011

Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry African-Caribbean Society (BL-ACS) are holding a cultural showcase in London on the 24th March 2012 to raise money and awareness for the African Caribbean Leukaemia Trust and Young Educational Learning Programme.

After the success of Afrodisia 2011, BL-ACS will be drawing on rich and varied cultures for inspiration and aiming to make next year’s show ‘Afrodisia: Reloaded!’ an even bigger extravaganza and raise even more money for charity.

BL-ACS are looking for support for the show and this is a great opportunity for companies to help a worthy cause while gaining publicity for their business. They would appreciate help either by taking up one of the sponsorship packages they have available or by providing materials for the show including clothing, catering, flyers and posters.

The vibrant event will showcase some amazing talent by way of designers, models, dancers and singers, and is a chance to get in tune with a diverse audience consisting of students, parents and professionals.

For more information about the event and the sponsorship packages available contact:
Society President: Vanessa Nathan-Marsh m: 07984082943 e:

About the Charities Being Supported

TheAfrican Caribbean Leukaemia Trust help to increase the number of black or mixed race people and people from other ethnic minority backgrounds on the UK bone marrow registers offering hope and a healthy future to someone whose disorder may otherwise prove fatal. The ACLT has raised the numbers of potential Black/Mixed Race donors from 550 to approx. 33,000 and many lives have been saved in the process.

TheYoung Educational Learning Programme aims to tackle the educational inequalities that have been, and still are, visible within our education system. They represent groups of secondary school children who are not expected to achieve in the UKs education system because of their belonging to a particular minority ethnic group or class.
