'1.4 BILLION REASONS' Presentation

This Fairtrade Fortnight we will be co-hosting a presentation event in Eastbourne Town Hall from the Global Poverty Project called '1.4 Billion Reasons'.

1.4 billion people on our planet live in extreme poverty, living on less than £1 a day for food, water, education, shelter and medical care. The Global Poverty Project's mission is to increase the number and effectiveness of people taking action to see an end to extreme poverty.

The presentation will be on Thursday 8th March at 7:30pm in the Assembly Rooms in the Town Hall.  Entrance is FREE so please save the data and spread the word!

Originating in Australia this presentation is traveling the world, inspiring and empowering audiences in its path. Already delivered to over 100,000 people, The Global Poverty Project is not after your money. The presentation explains how your everyday actions - in what you learn, say, buy, give and do - can be connected to the ending of extreme poverty. Small actions in your life can create big opportunities for the world's poorest people - see HERE.
This event is sponsored by Eastbourne Borough Council.  The Assembly Rooms are on the second floor of the Town Hall, making access more difficult.  Please contact us if you require further details.

Film screening of 'Amazing Grace' at Eastbourne Town Hall!
Earlier in October and in partnership with Eastbourne Cultural Communities Network we screened the excellent and inspiring film Amazing Grace in Eastbourne's Town hall

The film follows William Wilberforce through the campaign that lead to the abolition of the British slave trade.  Wilberforce was elected to the House of Commons when only 21 and dedicated his life to the Reformation of Manners in order to build a just and fair society. He advocated prison reform, better hospital care, improving conditions of the poor and other areas of social reform but his passion was to abolish slavery in all its forms. In 1807 the Commons voted to abolish the slave trade throughout the British Empire, but it took until 1833 for total abolition to be achieved. Three days after this latter event, in July 1833, Wilberforce died.

This event was sponsored by Eastbourne Borough Council.
