Colombia Earthquake Appeal, Brighton

We are a group of Colombians living in Brighton, organising this in support of our home.

On Monday 10 August, a magnitude 7.4 earthquake struck the department of Chocó in western Colombia. Hundreds of people have been killed and thousands injured, with serious damage across Chocó, Valle del Cauca and the Coffee Region.

Chocó is the poorest department in Colombia, and much of it can only be reached by air or river. That makes help slower to arrive/harder to sustain, and it means the communities hit hardest are often the ones furthest from the response.

We are raising funds for organisations working directly with communities in this department: the people most often overlooked, with the fewest resources to recover and rebuild.

Your donation helps us reach the communities that need it most.

The event - buy tickets here

Join us on Thursday 27 August at Komedia, Brighton, for an evening of music, art and community in support of earthquake relief in Colombia.

The night will feature:

• Live Latin music + Salsa DJ (Julián Gómez 'El Melting Pot')
• Salsa for beginners taster class
• An art market with work from La Linterna, Cali, alongside local artists
• A prize draw with prizes donated by local supporters
• Live T-shirt printing, with two exclusive designs (pay-what-you-feel)
• And more!

Tickets are pay-what-you-feel on a £5 to £15 scale, so you can choose what you're able to give. 

Can't make it? You can still donate to support the cause and/or participate in the prize draw

Prize Draw - enter here

Prize Draw tickets are £3 and can be bought here as well as on the night. You choose which prize or prizes you'd like to enter for. Winners will be contacted and announced on Friday 28 August via email.

You do not need to attend the event to participate in the Prize Draw. However, one special prize is for event attendees only. There's nothing extra to pay, everyone who comes gets a physical draw number at the door as part of their entry ticket.

Where your money goes

Every penny raised goes to organisations supporting marginalised communities affected by the earthquake. We are confirming which organisations now and will publish the full list here shortly.

We will announce the full lineup and the Prize Draw prizes soon.

Every ticket, donation, prize draw entry and art market purchase helps us get support where it is needed most.

Together, we can help Colombia
