Whitechapel Centre fund-raiser brings US legend to Liverpool

The homeless issue is so visible and evident in Liverpool, now more than ever , that the  team at Kingdom and Bondmedia Agency took part in the Big Sleep out on Friday 13th October with 300 other fundraisers in the grounds of St James Church on Parliament Street. This all leads in to the huge live event planned for Kingdom Liverpool on Harrington Street in Liverpool business district welcomes on Saturday 28th October the legendary American house music singer Crystal Waters. She will perform at Kingdom Liverpool, her first gig in the city for over 10 years for one night only.

Crystals set list will include “Gypsy woman” (15 million views on YouTube) an iconic house track about a homeless woman in the US and ‘Destination Unknown’ (40 million plus views on YouTube). Other classic club tracks that have been sampled and remixed on countless occasions such as “100% pure love” will also be performed.

The team over at Kingdom now aim to take inspiration from Crystals’ most memorable track ( a song about a homeless woman she would see daily outside an office block in Washington D.C ) to raise as much money and awareness as possible for the Whitechapel Charity in Liverpool. All bar one booth is now sold out and there is only a hand full of tickets left with what looks to be a packed house contributing to the Whitechapel cause.

Charlotte Hopkins – Events & Community Fundraiser said “We are delighted that Kingdom Nightclub is supporting The Whitechapel Centre. Crystal Waters’ hit Gypsy Woman describes how homeless can happen to anyone and it really can. Last year we helped 2814 people in Merseyside end or prevent their homelessness and this number is increasing. Kingdom Nightclubs support will raise vital funds to help us continue the work that we do for the homeless in Liverpool.”

Emma Bruffell from Kingdom commented. “We are proud to announce Prospect Capital, the Liverpool based City Living. Urban Regeneration, Hotel Development & Investment Company as a sponsor as well as Verum Victum Healthcare, specialises in developing supported housing provision.”

 

Craig Blackwell, MD of Prospect Capital, based on Water Street in Liverpool said “The plight of homeless people is something that can be witnessed on the streets in just about every city in the UK. Whilst it is not a new problem, it is one that I feel has grown over the past 2-3 years in big cities like Liverpool. There is not one reason why someone ends up homeless there are a thousand and if we at Prospect Capital / The Residence Water St / Colonial Chambers can work alongside Kingdom Liverpool to raise much needed funds for the Whitechapel Centre we will do all we can to make this event as big as success as possible. I have been involved in working with homeless charities for the last three to four years and am now delighted to be giving assistance and help to the Whitechapel Centre.”
