Story

When I saw the news in the early hours of Wednesday 14th
June I couldn’t believe what was happening. Like many of you I was shocked and
saddened with what I saw. I’ve lived in West London for as long as I have been
in the UK and grew up living in White City. I’ve walked past Grenfell Tower
more times than I could possibly remember.

As soon as I could gather my thoughts, I started thinking
about what I could do to help, that was really going to make a difference. I
made a few phone calls to see if anyone would be interested in supporting a
fundraising dinner, and I have to say, I’ve been overwhelmed by the response.

So here it goes! On Saturday 15th July  at
5:30pm I’ll be hosting a three course meal with some of my coolest friends in
the business at a top secret London location. We’ll be cooking up a tasty treat
with ingredients that have been donated from a well-known supermarket chain.

There is enough seating for just 70 people at our
(generously donated) venue, making it EVEN MORE exclusive.

Tickets cost £50 per person, but of course you are welcome to dig deep and donate more. As much as I would LOVE to sell out straight away, we want to offer this to as many people as possible, so please guys, you can only buy a maximum of 2 tickets. Once we have 70 paid guests confirmed, we’ll close the site, but you will still be able to make a donation.

To purchase a ticket, please follow these instructions
carefully :

  1. Make a donation of £50 at least for 1 ticket., or at least £100 for 2. Remember, only 2 tickets per person!

  2. Enter your full name and make it visible on the page and add a comment advising whether you need 1 or 2 tickets

  3. Send me an email with your full name and a snapshot of your confirmation to: Selasi.gbormittah1@gmail.com
    or DM me your confirmation @selasigb on Twitter/ Instagram. There will be vegetarian/ non vegetarian options available but please let me know in advance about any specific dietary requirements/ allergies.

  4. I will send you the details of the venue before the date

  5. Bring ID with you on the night so we know it’s really you!

If anyone would like to donate but you are unable to make
the event, please add DONATION in capitals in the comments section, or text a
donation. Text: SELS50 with Amount: £ TO: 70070.



Hope to see you there!!
