See some examples of past successful events :
Cape Town to London cycle challengeBraving temperatures that reached over 40°C, deserts without roads and sand storms, recent graduates Nick Stanhope, Rebecca Gowland and Rob Hadman cycled from Cape Town, South Africa to London, with their support driver and photographer Jonathan Felix and Jonny Polonsky.
Throughout the six-month challenge they met people who had been in slavery and some of our partners, and raised over £30,000 for our work.
Liberty Ball After hearing that slavery still exists, Anna Cofone and Ruth Powys held a photo exhibition and a ball in support of Anti-Slavery International, raising £12,500 towards our work against slavery around the world. Guests enjoyed an exciting array of entertainment ranging from fire-eaters to international music performances, and an auction that included a scarf from Linda McCartney's personal collection, tickets to TV's Pop Idol and photographs of freedom donated by over 20 photographers.
Drum wakeLocal supporter Rakesh Parmar organised a drum wake to mark the continuing fight against modern forms of slavery, raising £618 towards our work. Up to 20 drummers took to the stage at the Music Café in Leicester -- a city with strong links to the 19th century abolitionist movement.
Three decades of support from ExmouthGraham Martin from Exmouth raised nearly £2,000 at his 30th annual Anti-Slavery International garden party in July 2008. The event involved live music and food and attracted scores of people.
