Thank you so much to all you lovely folk for following and interacting recently.
Prevention Charity Events is a fundraising project I set up to support charities within Edinburgh and further across Scotland. A few years ago, I recognised there was very few initiatives here that dedicated itself solely to organising fundraising events with our extreme music community in mind. Coupled with speaking to many women on the scene who shared their experiences of misogyny and their concerns regarding their safety at gigs I started this project to raise awareness and push for inclusion. This spurred me on to do my first fundraising event Preventionfest in March this year for International Women's Day which raised just under £1000 for . Since then I have set up another event for Christmas in aid of and and am currently planning another fundraising event for next year. The causes are a reflection of what myself and others within our community experience and wish to support.
I collaborate with the charities, Edinburgh venues, in house promotors and Scottish bands who are willing to donate their time to play (thank you angels, you know who you are🙏). Almost all of the administration, organisation and financial elements of this project is done by yours truly.

I'm incredibly humbled and grateful to see it's momentum building gradually.
I'm still working on creating more engaging content (algorithms got me like WTF😂 ...No clue) , but just wanted to say a big ole cheesy grinned CHEERS. Hope to see some lovely faces on December the 14th for Prevention Xmas Party at
It's going to be an absolute banger!

With just under a couple of months to go until Prevention Xmas Party I'd like to share some information about the two charities that we will supporting. Firstly meet

Andy's Man Club want to eliminate the stigma surrounding mental health and create a judgment-free, confidential space where men can be open about the storms in their lives. They aim to achieve this through weekly, free-to-attend peer-to-peer support groups for men aged over 18.

You can find out more information including where the nearest group is below:

It's been super quiet at Prevention HQ whilst I'm working on plans and background admin for the next couple of events. There's news upcoming this week!

However check out these beautiful fur babies we met yesterday at Lothian Cat Rescue's open day.

Lothian Cat Rescue is a NO-KILL shelter and registered charity which helps abandoned, ill-treated and unwanted cats & kittens. They successfully rehome around 1,000 cats and kittens each year and this is their main priority.

They receive no government funding so if you want to donate you can follow:

I'm not crying. You are. 🥹🩷

Here at Prevention HQ (which is LITERALLY a one woman project in hopes of changing the world 🤣) I've been busy in the background with comms, admin and all sorts.

HOWEVER... Big news is coming soon!
SAVE THE DATE!!
