I am organising a one day family event in the Strand, which will bring children together to celebrate Charles Dickens and his reform influence on education, law and social conditions, raising money for Great Ormond Street Hospital, with which he was deeply involved.
The event will involve school children and individuals performing Dickensian type music and drama, programme of talks, films and videos about Dickens, themed craft fayre etc.
I would love to hear from anyone interested in helping; this may include advice and ideas, sharing of experience from past events etc. I hope to find people who can share with coordinating sponsorship, organising, fund raising, admin etc. Students, teachers, parents, experienced and inexperienced , do get in touch.
By building a small, dedicated team, linking to a wider group of interested people, we can achieve a great and enjoyable day, raise money for an excellent cause, make a difference for lots of children, WITHOUT TOO MUCH HARD WORK.
