We will have tons of great prizes to bid, and you will automatically be entered into a great raffle as well! All profits go DIRECTLY to the project, so you can leave knowing that you directly impacted the lives of those in Senegal.
Entry is free, but we will be taking donations at the door. Radio has £1 drinks all night long, and it's guaranteed to be a good time!
The stand-up comedy genius of Richard Gadd will surely leave you doubled over in laughter, yet another reason not to miss this great event!
