Come and raise the roof at a very special fundraising night of live bands, DJs, film screening, dance performance, raffle, fashion and craft stalls and a couple of surprises...With your help we hope to raise money to support communities in the regions in Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi affected by the recent cyclones to rebuild and future-proof homes and infrastructure devastated by storms and flooding, to safeguard and improve health provision, educational facilities, and counter land erosion and other climate-related threats.
