 Could You Help at Black Culture Market's Upcoming Event?
Black Culture Market was established to celebrate black culture and commerce in the local community. The event gives entrepreneurs of all ages of African and Caribbean descent visibility for them to flourish and make cultural products more accessible. With just 0.24% of capital in the UK going to black entrepreneurs (0.02% to black female entrepreneurs) access to early-stage capital is limited. BCM aims to bridge the gap by encouraging communities to shop small with black-owned businesses.
On Saturday 27th and Sunday 28th July, Black Culture Market will take place in The Department Store, Brixton from 11am to 5pm (public times), for Spring. Plans are in place to make it an even greater success than last year, so there is a lot to do! Black Culture Market needs people who can help set up (Friday 26th July), meet and greet guests at reception (Sat 27th - Sun 28th July) and/or help pack it away (Sunday 28th July).
Support needed is as follows:
Friday 26th July - Set up is 9.30am to 1pm
Saturday 27th July - 9.30am - 1.30pm or 1.30 - 5.30pm - Event Support (or full day)
Sunday 28th July - 10.30am - 2.30pm or 2pm - 7pm - Event Support and pack down (or full day) They particularly need people for the Sunday.
If you have the stamina to do all 3 phases that would be amazing but being part of any phase would be great - (for at least 4 hours ideally at the beginning or end of the shift).
If you’d like to know more about what is involved please get in touch with Black Culture Market.
