At the request of Professor Chris Kelnar, the ESPE President, this event has been chosen to support the ‘UNICEF’ charities with the specific intention of benefiting the children of Japan.

It is estimated that around 100,000 children were displaced and homeless as a result of the earthquake and tsunami disaster. In addition many children, including those as yet unborn, could be exposed, potentially, to radiation in the air, water supplies and milk with possible future consequences in terms of the increased risk of cancers, leukaemias and endocrine (including thyroid) problems.

Thus, rather than the concert being included in the registration fee, entrance will be by ticket for which a donation of a minimum of €10 will be required and given to the above charities for these purposes. Of course larger donations will be accepted with gratitude.

Thank you for your understanding and support.
