Welcome to Seven Beach Aid

Our Sunday, 11th March 2012 event You Are Not Forgotten is at Golders Green Parish Church, North London and starts at 2pm. One year on from the Great East Japan Earthquake and tsunami which devastated so much of the coastal area around Tohoku, we come together to learn about those who are most affected, as well as from volunteers who went and helped in very practical ways. It is open to all who want to attend and being a family friendly event, there will be activities for children. To find out more visit http://youarenotforgotten.org.uk.

We are a registered charity and an online community supporting the people of Shichigahama, a town in Miyagi prefecture, north-east Japan, which was badly affected by the recent earthquake and subsequent tsunami.

There are a few ways you can learn more about what we are doing:

Our Facebook page is a really good way of seeing what’s happening now. Become our friend.

We also exhibit at a number of places and events in and around London. The exhibition includes, amongst other things, pictures taken by Christina Aiton focusing on the people living in the disaster-hit town of Shichigahama. Check out Exhibitions and daretohope.org.uk for more details.

We run a number of appeals too, to give you an opportunity to help various people affected by the tsunami.

You can now donate through PayPal, or by buying our canvas shopping bag at select London shops and restaurants.

If you’d like to get involved, then have a look at our Getting involved page.

Our six month update, including a message from Blaise Plant of Monkey Majik:

We are looking to send out a newsletter to our supporters describing briefly what’s been going on recently and what we’re planning in the near future. If you’re interested, email us and let us know.

Feel free to comment on anything as you look around our site.
