We’re 80% towards achieving our goal, but we still need to raise more to cover start-up costs. This is an All or Nothing Crowdfunder, so IKLECTIK will only survive if we hit this target by 1st March. Please support us to move into our next chapter crowdfunder.co.uk/p/iklectikfutu…

IKLECTIK - Beyond a Venue
We are raising £55,000 to keep IKLECTIK alive and propel it into its next chapter.
Next week in Parliament, I will be voting for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza. I urge fellow MPs to wake up, think about what is happening in Gaza, and do the same.
Good that the Bowie archive ad is drawing attention to appalling sector pay. But of course people live on £27k (and much less) in London, 'dream job' or not -- suggesting otherwise seems counterproductive in ignoring swathes of the workforce 1/2
Just a warning about British jobs like this— £27k per annum pre tax is not London living wage. And it’s not enough to make any UK visa minimum. You can’t live off this no matter how fun it sounds, and since it’s full time, that basically means it has to go to someone wealthy.
