Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for our Goat Yoga Class at Soul Barns in Mortimer, Berkshire, on Sunday 7th July 2024. This wonderful class was the inspiration of Yoga with Lizzie instructor, Lizzie Stroud, and Soul Barns Founder and Yoga Instructor, Camila Bentley and was sold out within weeks of tickets going on sale! Despite the typically soggy British Summer conditions on arrival, Camila found us a cosy spot in the hay barn at beautiful Soul Barns – her family-run wellness centre – and introduced us all to her loveable Goats – Zogg and Lulu! And what better way to start the Yoga Class with Lizzie on a soggy Sunday morning than with a Sun Salutation…and it worked…briefly…!! The Goats got involved too, making unusual obstacles for our Tree poses and going through a tunnel of Kids doing downward dogs..! We finished the morning with a ‘Name the Billie Goat’ Game and Georgia became the proud owner of Bob the Billie Goat! Thanks to our little helpers, Hannah Robinson and Poppy Allum for coming up with Read more…

Thank you so much to everyone who joined us for our Beginner Salsa Class in Purley on Thames on Friday 28th June 2024. Local Salsa tutors, Russell Morse and his wife Hella, lead the class brilliantly and started by showing us all some basic salsa steps, building it up until we had quite a routine going! They then moved on to demonstrate some Merengue moves, whilst we all did our best to keep up! This was followed by a freestyle session where we demonstrated our new-found skills!! There was music, dancing, drinks and nibbles – and lots of FUN! Here are some of the pictures, showing a snapshot of the fun we had on the night..!     But the best bit? Together we managed to raise over £318 for the emergency fund for the children of Darfur. The forgotten children of Darfur are suffering horrendously amidst the ongoing fighting and desperate for all the help we can give them right now. Away from the headlines, towns and cities in Sudan are destroyed, homes flattened, families are displaced, desperately struggling Read more…

We are delighted that our Ambassadors’ Ball held on 8th June 2024 at the Hyatt The Churchill, London, has once again broken all records to raise vital funds for Darfur, at a time when they are most desperately needed. We were so pleased to welcome Ambassadors and guests from all over the World, including Albania, Argentina, Myanmar, Yemen, Zambia, and of course, Sudan, to our Ball. Your help and generosity has raised vital funds for the children of Darfur. We would especially like to thank all of you who could not join us this year, but who have contributed so generously towards the Ball. After all the expenses, the profit raised from this year’s Ball is an incredible £58,093.52. This will, of course, go to our Emergency Appeal to help families in Darfur devastated by the current warfare. After all the hard work behind the scenes, it is always wonderful to see everything come together. Ladies, you all looked stunning in beautiful Ball gowns, and the gentlemen looked incredibly dapper! The champagne Reception saw everyone excited to catch up in Read more…
