1st-8th December - Sing for SWEDA

We’re calling on community choirs, singers and performers across the South West to flex their vocal cords and “Sing for SWEDA” in the run up to Christmas. Host an event in the first week of December and raise vital funds to help people affected by eating disorders. Every pound raised during this appeal has the potential to be doubled as part of The Big Give. Donations must be made directly to our SWEDA campaign on the Big Give website. 

1st - 8th December, The Big Give

For one week only, you can double the impact of your donations to SWEDA. We’re taking part in the Big Give, who will help us matchfund every £ we receive from our SWEDA Community. So when you donate £20 to SWEDA via the Big Give, our matchfunder will chip in an extra £20. That means more counselling sessions, more outreach, more recovery support for our clients. If you’ve been wanting to help make a difference for people affected by eating disorders, save those dates!

15th December, Bath - Jingle Bell Bingo Bash

Looking for the perfect office Christmas party? Join us for a fun-packed festive night filled with thrilling bingo, side-splitting musical comedy and outrageously fun prizes! Back by popular demand, award-winning comedian Tracey Collins returns to Komedia with two show-stopping acts, bringing the house down with Elvis Lesley and Audrey Heartburn. Every ticket sold will help us continue to provide our services here in the South & West.
