Love this idea so much Amy ! I just made a pledge even though money is tight because I think this is both beautiful and important. Here’s hoping I can attend but glad to be able to contribute to this brilliant project either way ♥️♥️♥️

I appreciate that so much. Money is so tight right now. Bills and shopping are insane. It means so much to have your support.

Hi Amy! I’m so excited about this… first the date is in my diary, second I’ve donated so I’ll see you there, and third let me know if you need any practical help leading up to, on the day of the event, and/or post event. This is a genuine offer ♥️

That is amazing for all of that. Yes please I will need help. So date may change depending on how much we raise and venue availability but I will keep all pledgemakers updated to find the best date.

What an amazing idea. I have pledged! Only problem (personally!) is that I'm on a writing retreat 21st July so won't be able to come. But very keen to support.

Oh Hannah. It doesn't have to be 21 July. Once I have all the backers and I will try and find a date that works for most people. Thank you so much.

Amy I love this idea but as someone living with a multi- system chronic condition that means I can’t physically attend I’m wondering if you have any plans to extend this so we could join in too. I totally understand this is complicated so I don’t want my question to feel pressurising in any way, but it’s been on my mind since I first read about your wonderful idea, and thought I could only ask 💕

Jaimie. It's a really good question. I am thinking in the future of what to do to the reach outside of West London but I need to build up my skills and resources first. I've got a funding bid to do this at the moment. I won't know till October whether I got it or not. If I do get it maybe doing a Christmas event.

Thank you for coming back so quickly and again I hope my question hasn’t felt pressurising at all for you. I’ll be supporting you as you develop this as far as feels right and manageable, in whatever direction you take it. It’s a brilliant idea 💕

Yes - I love the idea and am delighted to support it. Can’t do July 21st as will be travelling but will still pledge in the basis that I would love it to work and become regular event. Good luck!
