Champagne Taittinger Cinema Screening & Auction - Thursday 8th July
On Thursday 8th July, Action Against Hunger held a Champagne Taittinger Cinema Screening and Auction in the luxurious private cinema at Sanctum Soho Hotel.
This special evening gave Action Against Hunger’s regular supporters the opportunity to find out more about our work in the 6 months since the devastating earthquake that shook Haiti on the 12th January.
Greeted by a champagne Taittinger reception and canapés – and a retreat from the very hot day outside – our guests were given the opportunity to meet one another, and Action Against Hunger staff.
Our guests then watched footage of our work, and had a Q&A session with Jean-Michel Grand, Executive Director of Action Against Hunger UK about our long term commitment to provide stability to the devastated nation.
An opulent auction of goods and experiences, including luxury holidays, stunning jewellery and meals at some of London’s most exciting new and relaunching restaurants gave guests the opportunity to contribute to our field projects in more than 40 countries around the world.
Action Against Hunger would like to thank our sponsors for their very generous support of this event:

On July 11th, Nom Nom Nom, the Masterchef for bloggers will return, raising funds for Action Against Hunger for the third consecutive year.
Nom Nom Nom is a Masterchef for bloggers; a chance for the Internet's best writers, photographers and bloggers to get together, have fun, and show just what they can do given a professional kitchen.
The three course menus produced will be based around three principles; seasonal, simple & sustainable. This means that all menus created will be things that ordinary people can cook at home, and which are environmentally friendly.
A team of respected judges, including Susan Low, Deputy Editor of Delicious Magazine, and Nick Wyke from the Times, will assess their work and award fabulous prizes, before the public picks its Viewers' Choice based on the pictures and videos taken on the day.
If your culinary and blogging skills aren’t up to scratch, you can still get involved after the event by selecting your ‘Viewers Choice’ favourite and entering the Nom Nom Nom online raffle in aid of Action Against Hunger for the chance to win fantastic foodie prizes.

Rhona Cameron Comedy Dinner at Boisdale - Sunday 1 November 2009
Award winning Scottish comedienne, TV personality, actress and critically acclaimed author Rhona Cameron will be headlining The Comedy Dinner in aid of Action Against Hunger at Boisdale of Belgravia on Sunday 1 November.
With her impeccable timing and a generous helping of classic and sharp-witted observational humour, Rhona Cameron rose to fame through the standup comedy circuit and became a regular on British TV in the 1990s. She was a participant in the first series of I’m a Celebrity... Get Me Out of Here! as well as making appearances on Would I Lie To You?, Live At The Apollo, Law of the Playground and Never Mind the Buzzcocks. In 2002 she joined the West End cast of The Vagina Monologues and the following year played the first ever female narrator in The Rocky Horror Show.
In 2003 Rhona wrote her first book Nineteen Seventy-Nine: A Big Year in a Small Town, a candid, open-hearted memoir of a year in her life growing up as a lesbian teenager in a Mussleburgh. Her debut novel The Naked Drinking Club was published by Ebury Press in 2007. Rhona will be joined on stage by two other comedy acts which will be announced at a later date.
The evening will begin with a Champagne reception which will be followed by a sumptuous three-course dinner with wine, the comic performance and an exclusive auction featuring a selection of unique luxury lots.
