• To be encouraged to reach one’s full potential

These rights carry responsibilities and we require all members of our community to recognise these rights and act in accordance with them. In addition, we will comply with all relevant legislation and good practice.

Philanthropy & Community Support

Supporting Kindled Spirit Charity from October 2023, Empowering Young Women

Starting October 2023, sales from our events will support Kindled Spirit Charity, dedicated to changing lives and creating brighter futures.

Kindled Spirit rescues and empowers young women like Preeti, who was trapped in modern slavery at age 8. After 9 years of hardship, she was rescued by Kshamata, Kindled Spirit’s partner, and completed an 18-month rehabilitation program, gaining vocational skills and mental well-being. Preeti’s story highlights the charity’s incredible impact.

As our valued clients and partners, your support helps drive this transformation. By choosing Eventologists, you receive exceptional event services and become a beacon of hope for young lives in need.
