Refugee Relief Night on 23 September

The advertising industry has joined forces with the APA (Advertising Producers Association) to organise a fundraising night in support of Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders and their work with refugees. The event will be held in central London on 23 September.

The world is facing the biggest refugee crisis since the Second World War. There are now almost 60 million people fleeing conflict and persecution around the world.

Many take huge risks with their lives trying to find a safe new home, but escaping the horrors of war can often be as dangerous as enduring them.

The event will take place on 23 September at the 100 Club at 100 Oxford Street, from 6pm until 11pm. Tickets will be GBP 5.

All money raised will go to Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders (MSF), who work around the world to provide refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) with everything they need from psychological care to lifesaving nutrition.

Médecins Sans Frontières/Doctors Without Borders set up hospitals in refugee camps, help women give birth safely, vaccinate children to prevent epidemics and provide access to safe drinking water. They also conduct search and rescue work to save the lives of migrants and refugees attempting to cross the Mediterranean.

We want the whole industry to be involved and you can help by coming on the night and buying raffle tickets and auctioned items.

Any donations of items to be auctioned will be extremely welcome. To donate items for auction please contact Clara Le, Lorraine Fearon or Kristyna Podolska.
