Dress code: Prom! A few more ideas here, no trainers please.

 

The PR Prom is a fundraising event in support of Bright One, a volunteer-run communications agency for the third sector. Bright One makes public relations possible for third sector organisations who can’t afford a commercial agency. We match charities with teams of volunteers from the industry - volunteers get practical experience and to do some good by giving something back to the community. The charities get high-standard communications, so they can concentrate on their day job. Bright One is run 100% by volunteers and has delivered 10,000 volunteer hours of communications expertise, worth £1,500,000, to 40 charitable organisations over the last three years..

 

Here are just a few of the charities that Bright One has supported:

• Centrepoint - The leading charity for homeless young people.
• Choir With No Name - A choir for homeless and vulnerable people
• St Dunstan's - Providing training and rehabilitation to blind ex-service men and women.
• Learn As One - Help to fund a school in Africa and see your money in action
• The Pixel Project - Raising global awareness & US$1m for endng violence against women
