Name: PACE NETWORKING: 'Dinner of the Willing' with special guest Atandwa Kani
Start: 2023-05-28 18:15:00
End: 2023-05-28 19:45:00
Location: Ironworks Studios

Dinner of the Willing is simply a cross sector gathering of people who have a willingness and enthusiasm to be part of a shift on how we seriously push diversity conversations into action. Usually taking place in a home setting, the event is a fusion of "Come Dine with Me and a Pot luck Dinner meets The Long Table, and we adapt the private form of a dinner party as an informal framework for debating key social issues. On this occasion our home will be the culture conneX/PACE hub at Ironworks Studios and light refreshments will be provided. However to show willing we still do ask that you bring something with you to share with someone else. We are delighted to introduce Black Panther actor Atandwa Kani as our very special guest for the evening. So come along and join what promises to be a very stimulating conversation.... You can come for an hour or so or you can stay until late... Its a Bank Holiday evening so hopefully you wont have an early start the next day and Dinner of the Willing is followed by dazzling cabaret performances by The Cocoa Butter Club (see listing for booking details) and the PACE Late Lounge.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD

Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
