CCR’s Diwali celebrations raise funds for charity fighting child poverty

CCR, the Easyfairs event for the medical aesthetics community, has once again shone a light on the lives of children affected by poverty in London. Alison Willis, Divisional Managing Director Easyfairs UK & Global, tells us more about this initiative.

Alison, could you explain how the CCR Diwali-themed after-party event was put in place and how it made a difference?
With the invaluable support of Dr. Tapan Patel and the backing of key industry sponsors, CCR organised a spectacular and glamorous Diwali-themed after-party for its 2022 and 2023 visitors and exhibitors. This event wasn’t just a celebration and a highlight for the aesthetics community; it was a mission to make a difference, with all ticket sales benefiting The Childhood Trust, London’s pivotal charity fighting child poverty. The Childhood Trust is renowned for its commitment to alleviating the impacts of poverty on young Londoners. Through collaborations with companies and philanthropists, the Trust funds vital projects and services, reaching thousands of children and youth annually. CCR’s initiative to partner with the Trust showcases a shared vision of community support and impact.

What benefits were realised from this charitable donation?
Over two consecutive years, the CCR Diwali parties raised an impressive total of £55,650, with £32,375 collected in the first
year and £23,275 in the following year. CCR, alongside Dr. Tapan Patel, is immensely proud of its collaboration with The Childhood Trust. We are deeply thankful to our hosts, sponsors, and participants for their generosity. Witnessing the aesthetics community come together to support this cause in a spirit of giving and community has been profoundly rewarding and we are thrilled to continue this tradition of giving!

“Through joyous celebration and dedicated philanthropy, the event demonstrated the powerful impact of community unity, marking a beacon of hope and support for the children in need.” Alison Willis, Divisional Managing Director Easyfairs UK & Global
