Tonight's the night.... Excitement here is building as we host the Sister Act Charity Gala tonight in London's West End. In partnership with LGBT Great we are proud to be raising funds to support queer representation in TV, film & videogames through the #KindQueerHeart initiative. Looking forward to seeing you there! #visibility#KindQueerHeart#SisterActMusical#TV#Film#Videogames#LGBT #LGBTGreat Dominion Theatre | Simon Ruddick

Frantically trying to find a nun outfit to show my fan devotion in tonight's Sister Act Charity Gala with LGBT Great and OKRE. I’m proud to be supporting the #KindQueerHeart initiative to empower new LGBTQ+ talents in TV, film, and games. Together, we aim to broaden representation and accelerate acceptance through compelling storytelling and narratives. #KindQueerHeart #SisterAct #IDAHOBIT #OKRE #TogetherWithPride #LGBTQ #LGBTGreat

On the eve of IDAHOBIT, it was fabulous to attend the inaugural Sister Act Charity Gala at the Dominion Theatre starring Beverley Knight and Ruth Jones. Hosted by OKRE, in partnership with LGBT Great, the donations raised will go fund the development of a new initiative to support the development of queer and LGBTQ+ friendly representation in TV, film and games. And I would add that for me - a lover of musicals - it was a brilliantly cathartic celebration during Mental Health Awareness Week 🫶 (Not sure how to manoeuvre in Global Accessibility Awareness Day into this post… so Happy GAAD!) Back to the Sister Act Gala…Congratulations to Simon Ruddick and all involved in organising such a memorable and impactful event. Never to late to donate 😉 Here’s the link: https://lnkd.in/e7TjSR5k Images show: 1) Finale line up of the Sister Act cast. Wide shot. 2) Selfie with OKRE’s Iain Dodgeon.

About last night..... funfilled and much needed! I really enjoyed the Sister Act Charity Gala organised by LGBT Great and OKRE. Lovely to spend the evening with Linda Russheim Nancy R. and Zahra Sheikh As you can see I was happy to accept the optional dress code 😉 The gala raised funds for the OKRE #KindQueerHeart initiative which seeks to increase LGBTQ+ representation in TV, film and games. You can donate to the fund here: https://lnkd.in/eknAhihV Important that we continue to have diversity through all lens to better represent the society and communities in which we live. #KingQueerHeart #SisterAct #TogetherWithPride

LGBT Great 🏳️🌈 For those who have been lucky to attend Albourne events know they host great events… Last night I attended the Sister Act Charity Gala which is underwritten by Albourne to bring together the Financial Services and business community for a special West End performance of the hit musical, Sister Act. The funds raised during this event will play a crucial role in accelerating the development of new queer-friendly content. The primary mission is to enhance visibility and representation, especially for marginalized communities, including queer people of color, and trans and non-binary individuals. Thank you to John C. and the Albourne team for the invite. Special thanks to Elsie Akinsanya & Matthew R. for the company! #LGBT #Albourne #SisterAct #CharityGala #DiversityandInclusion

Thank you to the team at LGBT Great for an amazing night at Sister Act. It’s amazing to see how far Matt Cameron 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️ has taken this endeavour since we first met at Macquarie all those years ago. Seeing Beverley Knight crowned as Celebrity Ally was the real highlight for me- a well deserved accolade. And certainly was extra special to share with my personal ally hero- Jo McCaffrey who has always been a huge supporter of my LGBT work in the workplace and lived those values through her leadership. #KindQueerHeart, #SisterAct, #IDAHOBIT, #OKRE and #TogetherWithPride.
