Champ visits the Palace!
Date: Monday 15 August 2011
Time: 17.00-1900
Location: ‘The Palace Project’, 5 Coburg Crescent, Streatham Hill, London SW2 3HS
Lloyd Honeyghan, aka 'Champ' and 'Lloyd the Legend', Former Undisputed Two-Times World Welter-Weight Champion helps to restore faith in the young people of Britain after the London Riots by supporting new sporting activities for young people at ‘The Palace Project’ in Streatham.
British and Jamaican born Honeyghan stunned the boxing world when he forced super-star Donald Curry to retire at the end of round six on 27 September of 1986 to win the world Welterweight title.
On Monday, Lloyd will spend two hours at ‘The Palace Project’. His time there will include a Q&A session from young people and the media. He will speak positively about the young people of Britain and also give tips to aspiring boxers and maybe even throw a few punches too!
The Palace Project is an incredibly important haven for young people in South London which nurtures their talent and confidence in many different areas: sport, music, film, arts and media. Lloyd is keen to focus on the positive at a time when many are demonising the young people of Britain. Lloyd believes this is crucial at this time.
The itinerary is as follows:
17.00: Champ arrives at ‘The Palace Project’
17.20: Champ meets young people and councillors informally
17.20- 17.30: Autographs and pictures
17.30-18.00: Champ and Councillors address group

SPEAK UP: MIND AND BODY BEAUTIFUL WORKSHOP, APRIL 15th 2011, Covent Garden, 14.30-16.30
Hello ladies! This Friday Daisy will be acting in Covent Garden for an excellent cause, she will be holding a workshop with Marina Sarsenova- creator of the 'Mind and Body Beautiful' workshop. The aim is to help create a positive body image and increase self-esteem through role-play. They will also introduce a few exercises that are great for combating negative thoughts and emotions when it comes to body image.
According to a survey conducted by Grazia magazine in 2006, a British woman worries about her size and shape every fifteen minutes. Out of 5,000 women in twenty British cities who took the survey only 2% were happy with their body weight.
Our unhealthy preoccupation with body weight and size is a hazard with as many as 1.6 million people currently suffering with eating disorders in the UK.
SPEAK UP is a charity that helps people solve their problems with role-play using actors. Marina has been volunteering for them since November last year as part of her Masters in Health and Social Marketing. The final part of her module was to come up with a project hence the birth of the “Mind and Body Beautiful” Workshop.
We promise it will be a fun and insightful two hours of your life. In return for your presence and participation a few surprises will be thrown in.
It is this Friday 15th April, from 2.30pm-4.30pm, we will disclose the location in central Covent Garden for those ladies who are interested and message us at info@modelethics.com.
The workshop will be divided into 2 parts with a short break in between.
Please wear something comfortable and bring a pen/pencil with you.
There is no charge as it is our first workshop and is a pilot-test for things to come.
It is also a great opportunity for you to play a part in pioneering a new and innovative way of getting women to feel better about themselves.
