IF Event Programme 13th May 2012
United Nations International Day of Families Theme
“Ensuring work family balance” A non-profit themed event
“Local Family TV celebrates this year’s United Nations’ International Day of Families with a special celebrity fundraising event aimed at re-discovering the importance of a well-balanced family.”
As a topic of increasing relevance in the 21st century, this high-profile, non-profit charity gala brings together families, NGOs, businesses, individuals, trusts, Ambassadors and High Commissioners to discuss and raise awareness of this prominent issue.
Local Family Television will be raising funds in support of Deaf Parenting UK at their special, Celebrity Fundraising Gala 2012.
The event, which will take place on 13th of May 2012 at the magnificent, 5-star Wyndham Grand Hotel Chelsea, will celebrate the UN’s International Day of Families while raising money for a number of important UK charities.
The theme for this year is Hollywood and Bollywood and Local Family TV will have a number of celebrity designers showcasing their work in an exclusive fashion show as well as special guest speakers and a mysterious luxury prize draw.
Sabina Iqbal from Deaf Parenting UK will be giving a speech to remind our guests of the important cause, we support and of our partnership with Local Family TV to continue delivering new services and support programmes for Deaf Parents across the UK.
Last year, representatives from 15 Head of States came in support of the private event, while fashion leading lady Sienna Miller sponsored the gala with her Twenty8Twelve collection.
Sofia-Chezene Theophilou, founder of Local Family TV said: “On 16th May 2011 history was made when it showed that countries around the world supported the important role of families by attending the event and I cannot wait to see each country having a UN Ambassador one day and incorporate this in the Family Rights Charter.
Each year I will be involved with working alongside government officials, businesses, individuals, charities, NGO, Ambassadors and High Commissioners to celebrate families all over the world.”
Funds raised will go towards new development plans and stronger support systems for Deaf Parenting UK.
