‘We are so grateful to all the amazing artists who have agreed to participate in the Choose Love poetry evening to raise vital funds to help keep refugees warm and well this winter. It is a pleasure to work alongside Polly Stenham and the brilliant Platform Presents on such a special evening. As ever, we are reminded that there are many, many people who continue to Choose Love. We are honoured to be a part of such a powerful and positive movement of humanity.’ Philli Boyle, Director, Help Refugees. www.helprefugees.org
