Young People Matter - Black History Month event

Wednesday 24th October 2007

5:00pm to 9:00pm,

At Fenwick Hall, Fenwick Estate
128 Willington Road, SW9 9NN

Young People Matter (YPM), are holding a free fundraising event to celebrate Black history. Our group of talented young people have happily agreed to take part in this event and so will be participating in a number of workshops and rehearsal sessions leading up to the event to assure perfection on the night! (Flyer for the event is above)

Come along and support these young people for their hard work and dedication to this event.

As well as celebrating Black History, we want to promote and celebrate not just the history of Black People, but celebrate the human race as a united nation. We want to show that diversity is the beauty of the human race so it should be celebrated rather than exploited in a negative light. So whatever race, gender, class or culture you are from come along and represent your country!!!

The night’s event includes:

- Banquet
- Raffle
- Auctions
- Talent show*
- Presentations of chosen icon (by the young people)
- Role plays of events (preferably positive) that influenced black history
- Fashion show*
- D.J playing music from various cultures

Founded in February 2007, Young People Matter have been visiting schools to peer educate and running workshops on issues that affect young people. They also provide activities and outings for young people, which motivates them and keeps them off the streets. This is a fundraising event so that YPM can continue to run workshops and activities for the young people of Lambeth to encourage growth, self-development, leadership and unity.

They need the help of the community to make this happen and you can help us make this possible.

All donations are welcome on the night and all cheques can be made payable to Young People Matter, however big or small.
