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!
