Friends Out There: launch event

Fings are fairly frantic, frazzled and fraught for Friday's funfest charity launch event Friends Out There in Watford. If you're within striking distance, I hope you'll find your way there, come and feast yer ears and eyes. Here's the blurb. Here for bookings.

We need £5,000 before we're allowed to establish the charity so please come and help make it happen! Tickets available on the night, just mind the fire-jugglers and Mad Matt the robot statue as you come in.

Meanwhile, among my less exciting roles, I've been tinkering at the charitable objectives. Here's the pop version -

• Friends Out There will create connections between different schools and neighbourhoods across the world – working at the local level, globally.
• Friends Out There will use art, music, dance, drama and writing to help people explore diversity and to promote understanding of different cultures.
• Friends Out There will record, evaluate and publish the processes and outcomes of our work so that it can be shared and experienced widely.
• Friends Out There will contribute to the relief of hardship where appropriate in the areas where we work by helping to build financial, social and cultural capital.

If you'd like to get on board, say hi over on the FOTblog.
