Tickets for The Salon on the 26th September are pay what you can afford! Every single pound will go towards supporting the village of #Kachipanda in Malawi which was devastated by Cyclone Idai back in March. There is currently little to no clean water there and no sustainable food source. The village is just about to start its permaculture journey (funded by @nawicollective) which will help make it more resilient to future climate catastrophes by growing a more diverse range of crops. The climate crisis is affecting the global south more than ever and it’s time to show our solidarity.
