Crisis Christmas 2009 - Can you contribute to the 38th year?

Hi all,

Once again this year BrazenBunch is involved in an incredibly worth while project at a very important time of the year. It’s that time again where your valuable creative skill can really help create an amazing vibe at the 8 centres around London that provide food, shelter and accommodation for up to 2,000 people from the homeless community.

The importance of a full schedule of entertainments from Bingo to Singing, Choirs to Karaoke, Magic to Circus and Theatre to Comedy cannot be overstated so please forward on to your contacts even if you cannot contribute.
This is not a fancy fundraiser but an opportunity to perform to the very people the charity work to aid and support.
As Europe’s largest volunteer led project the whole thing is run on generosity and donations.

Get in touch if you any questions or want more information, or look at the applications online here:

Your time and support is greatly appreciated.

Best,
Paul
