Friends of Tafo, PO Box 43826 London NW6 1XG
FOT puts on concerts, holds parties and sells Christmas Cards each year, and supporters have also tapped into an amazing willingness on the part of their friends to help, dreaming up a variety of fun-filled fund-raisers.
We are proposing a truly exciting challenge for October 2011! Spend a week bicycling in exotic Ghana and end up with a royal reception by the Chief and Elders in Kwahu-Tafo. Do we know (or do YOU know) enough energetic people for us to set it up? Please let us know preliminary interest without delay at info@friendsoftafo.org.
In May 2009 our new style comedy gala ("Strictly Come Laughing") packed Hackney Empire and raised over £10,000. Thanks to all the stars who so lovingly took part, and to Sarah Moore and Paulette Randall for so generously producing and directing. Our wonderful supporters in Colchester, Quire, once again donated proceeds from one of their beautiful concerts.
Other events have included:
- A conversation between Michael Palin and his one-time TV producer Humphrey Barclay (Development Chief in Kwahu-Tafo) at the Royal Geographic Society
- "The Empire Strikes Black" 1, 2, 3, 4 & 5
- Two Scavenger Hunts
- A Balloon Race by Sutton Coldfield Grammar School for Girls
- A Walkley Midnight Walk by the Lacaille family
- An African Music Concert by Colchester's Quire
- A cross-Channel relay swim by teachers at St Paul's
- A 13-pool swim by Lizzie Chatterjee
- A lunch party by Colin and Rebecca Perry featuring Flanders and Swann tribute act Tim Fitzhingham and Duncan Walsh Atkins
- A stand-up comedy evening produced by Crispin Leyser
- Two parties at Art First Gallery
- A run by Washland Women Runners
- At least three Birthday and Christmas parties
- Stratford Town Hall event
