Welcome to DeFest 2024

25-26 May 2024

Hello friends!

We’re over the moon to be welcoming you back to the South Downs for DeFest 2024!

This year, we will be having more of the same beautiful food, music, dancing and kids activities.

We’re going even further this year and will have Zoonation dance classes, Moira Less the amazing drag artist, bands and DJs throughout Saturday and Sunday… and posh loos!

We hope you can make it and help The Gambian Children’s Fund raise money for school furniture and teachers’ wages.
 
We look forward to dancing with you all very soon! 
 
The DeFest/Gambian Children’s Fund Team

PS. This is a private event, by invitation only. Please contact Leo if you have any queries/requests.

Donate to Register!

We appreciate every donation, large or small, but we really need recurring donations. 

As a charity, we greatly value recurring donations over one-time contributions. Recurring donations provide a stable and predictable source of income, allowing us to plan and budget more effectively for our programs and initiatives. This consistent stream of support enables us to maintain our operations, support ongoing projects, and respond swiftly to emerging needs without worrying about fluctuations in funding.

As mentioned in the video, our focus for DeFest 2024 is raising funds for school furniture for the new classroom block and our ongoing support for the teachers at the school we partner with. We are proud of what we have achieved so far, but we can only continue to help improve the lives of the children because of the generosity of you, our friends, so thank you for your support!
