Following the events of the recent Riots that took place on our Captial and surrounding Cities, people were left shocked at the devastating scenes of violence and looting that took place.
Many innocent Local and Independent Businesses were caught up the the violence and had their livelihoods and homes destroyed.
Recovery for these small businesses is hard and virtually impossible for some. Many people were made homeless.
Shocked at these events and wanting to do something to help, Zoe Grant from Zoe and Drew had an idea to organise a Raffle of Donations from Designer Makers and Independent Businesses all over the UK.
Through the power of Social Media, word spread quickly with many people wanting to help and within 24 hours Zoe had over 50 Businesses involved.
Choosing the Retail Trust as her Charity, it meant that 100% of the donations would be used to help retail staff, shopkeepers and their families who have been affected directly and indirectly by the UK riots.
Zoe found help from other sources too - The Managing Director of BWebsites, Zoe Brown offered to build and host the Riot Raffle Website. Other help came from Graphic Artist and Digital Designer,Whoatemycrayons, who designed their Logo and badge
Over 80 Artists, Designers and Independent Businesses have pledged prizes so far. Here at Sincerity Gifts we have donated a London Calling Mug designed by Sweet William Designs and 4 piece Soap Box hand made by Savvonerie
Raffle Tickets cost just £1.00 each and can be purchased through the Just Giving page
The Raffle closes on the 30th September 2011 and the winner will be announced on the 2nd October 2011
