JUNE 2016.

"equALL is already gathering momentum since we discussed starting it up back in January. our statement: We are equALL. With the positive use of art, music and by building up a network of passionate people we aim to raise awareness for important worldwide causes focusing on humanitarian crisis, animal welfare and environmental issues.

Together with my friend Joe Espindola, we wanted to create something to bring people together. A range of different events.. community projects.. demonstrations.. The goal? To raise awareness of important worldwide causes! One of my older blog posts was titled 'The Hidden Secrets of Paradise'. This is similar. There is so much going on in the world - environmental destruction, the results from war and human conflict, animal exploitation, the list goes on. We want to highlight and help the organisations, charities and individuals who are fighting in their (people, animals and our planets)(!) corners. with ALL profits we make going straight to them. Obviously, nobody is a super hero but everyone can take responsibility and make a stand for something that they believe in.

EQUALL LAUNCH NIGHT.

Our launch night was on 26th April 2016. It was amazing and we were extremely proud. We held a night of live music at Downstairs, on Holburn Street Aberdeen. We raised £437.35 for The Bristol Skipchen, an anti food waste campaign making a real difference to the lives of hundreds of refugees." Check them out - https://thebristolskipchen.wordpress.com/

The night was a huge success thanks to the artists who played, friends who joined in to help, Gav & Downstairs and the bunch of great strangers who filled the room. Thanks to Rob Philips for photos.
