Events for Good – A Round-Up


You might be lead to believe that running an event is pretty formulaic. Something, perhaps, like this:

  1. Start event
  2. Sell tickets
  3. ???
  4. Profit & happiness

Well, sorry to disappoint, but events are never that easy to produce. Some even skip the “profit” part. 

One thing that we can be certain of though is that anyone that decides to put on an event wants it to be good. Today, with a twist, we wanted to share with you some events that are not only good, they’re working for the greater good:

High Tea with the King

Northridge Vinyard Church is a Christian association hosting (as the name would suggest) high tea for women in their community to share while listening to presentations from insightful speakers.

While scones and finger sandwiches aren’t the things you’d most regularly associate with events for good, the event is in aid of the Honsby KuRingGai Women’s Shelter which provides for women who are dealing with homelessness and domestic violence in New South Wales. 

Tickets? Available now. (You can also donate via this link.)

When? June 16th, 2018.

If you can’t quite make it to these, but you’re interested in the topics, we’ve also written about how people leverage events to engage their communities, to deal with anxiety, and to build around people’s biases
