Daniel and Lily we’re invited to the BAFTAs in May. They had a private box and met lots of fans.
The Circus of Sound Cabaret is launching in Eastbourne in March 2019, led by Delta 7 in partnership with other community organisations. This aims to become a regular event, under the banner; “EVERYONE IS WELCOME, EVERYONE IS INCLUDED”. The Cabaret will support adults of all ages, including those who are vulnerable, to share music, comedy, poetry etc in a friendly, social environment; bringing people together to feel connected, safe and valued. This project will combat social isolation, celebrate diversity and empower people by building skills and confidence. With funding support, this project will develop in Eastbourne and throughout East Sussex.St Elisabeth’s Church has full disabled access, is a safe space.
Cash bar only.

No Bedtimes – A DJ’s perspective of clubbers being told what time to leave
Here at Heartventure we would like to promote a campaign that we are passionate about.We want to get support workers to think about what they’re doing by not enabling the people they support to decide when to leave a night out.The campaign was prompted by DJ Chris Love. Here he is in a short video in action as a DJ and also talking more about the issue.To read more, go to this article on the “STAY UP LATE” website.You can also follow the #NoBedTimes hashtag on Twitter.Pride 2017 was amazing! We hired a open top bus which was really fun. We shared the bus with another organisation, Grace Eyre, which meant we had a bus full of happy people!
