On India’s independence day, join us to remember those who fought for our freedom, the heroes who are somewhere lost in our history books and many who were not known. Lets celebrate the spirit of freedom, and the responsibility we share towards those whose freedom is still to be fought for.

The aim of the event is to raise funds to support ActionAid and their priority project in India: a safe haven for street children. This project is working towards helping children to stay off the streets and home them in safe ‘drop-in’ shelters, where they can get warm food, counseling, education, training and the chance to return home.
