Event Relief 2022 took place on Tuesday 29th November, across 11 hours. The virtual event raised essential funds for three event industry charities EventWell, Make It Blue, and Meetings Needs.

Every donation will go towards helping individuals who are experiencing personal and financial hardship. Any size of donation will make a real difference to real people, our event people:

• £250 could support three event professionals with a family grocery shop
• £500 could provide six sessions of talking therapy for an event professional
• £1,000 could provide a hardship relief grant for two event professionals to cover rent, mortgage, or utility arrears

It is not too late to make a donation (this closes on Friday 2nd December), here is how you can help.

Over 50 event profs took part in a mixture of fun and informative sessions, to raise awareness and donations through creative approaches. These ran on the hour, every hour, running from 08:00 – 19:00 GMT.

Shocklogic hosted one of the sessions on the day, which featured Karen Perea, our Senior Client Relationship Coordinator. Karen has been teaching pilates for more than 8 years, and donated her time to give a class for beginners. This included stretching/breathing exercises that allowed viewers to learn the secrets to realigning their posture, and to relieve stress. 

Thanks to everyone who participated in Karen’s session, and any of the other wonderful sessions throughout the day. Everyone managed to raise an incredible £5,480 (the target was £5,000). 

We would also say a big thanks to Dan Assor for organising such a brilliant event – we hope to be back again next year!
