Event Relief 2022!

On Tuesday 29 November event professional Dan Assor will be leading and hosting an 11-hour virtual event, raising essential funds for three event industry charities: EventWell, Make It Blue, and Meeting Needs.

Why does it matter?

Mental health-related illness affects one in three event professionals every year. Mental health services are seeing unprecedented demand and the impact of the cost-of-living crisis is wide-reaching – many people are having to decide whether to heat their homes or buy food, and many are increasingly uncertain whether they will be able to pay their mortgage or rent. This can all have a devastating effect on health and well-being, resulting in mental decline and distress.

Every donation goes towards helping individuals who are experiencing personal and financial hardship. This event will make a real difference to real people, our event people.

How you can donate

You can donate via JustGiving here: https://www.justgiving.com/crowdfunding/eventrelief22
