Please join me Next Friday 20th November, 7-10pm for a #SetForLove DJ Livestream by me, Ben GC, for an evening of music and fun, some good money raised for charity and no doubt a silver skirt… 

Six months ago, after a series of weekly livestreams on Twitch, just to bring us all together in a new version of music and drinking as we entered the brave world of lockdown, I did this fundraising event as part of the #setforlove weekender for Last Night a DJ Saved My Life Foundation (#LNADJ).

With the help of an absolute shit-ton of you lot, a cumulative obscene consumption of booze across the British isles and abroad, and some old music we had an evening of immense fun and worthy charitable achievement.

I think i put a target of £250 on the just giving page and yet by end of an evening of me channeling every ounce of Lenny Henry style televised fundraising power I had we pushed towards £1500 when all the gift aid was counted. This was a significant chunk of the total money of SetForLove mk1!

SIX MONTHS LATER and we go again! Next weekend is the Christmas Appeal Weekender where livestreams will be going all across the world with thousands of DJs taking part, some big headliners (notably Carl Cox and Ben GC).

The work that Jonny Lee and LNADJ does for amazing causes across African and Asia is fantastic and the speed at which the money hits the ground, untouched by any other fees, wages or charges is incredible - every quid literally helps! Funds raised in this Set For Love Xmas Appeal will be distributed across a number of projects in developing countries focussed on creating sustainable futures for vulnerable children and young adults. These include projects to stop child labour and get children into education, construction of new schools, centres for the rehabilitation of young girls who have experienced sex trafficking and domestic abuse, the creation of sustainable resources including water wells.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me, by a) not only joining me to have a really wonderful evening just as we are once again stuck back indoors for Lockdown2.0 but b) to please share this with friends and help to get some more people tuned in and hopefully donating.

My just giving page is up and live now so please feel free to start donating as I want to try and do what we did last time. I’m going to go out on a limb and stick a £750 target on it (as I know we are a bit skinter now it’s christmas looming and what with the ‘rona) as I think we can do that!
