I chose to do my four day silence from 10am Thursday to 1.30pm Sunday 31st
November to raise funds for the Big Dress festival in Sheffield…

I didn’t SPEAK on behalf of others who have no voice - namely:

• The many who are trapped in horrendous working conditions making clothes

and other produce for the Western world

• The children forced into work instead of having the education

they ought to receive

• The multitude of victims of injustice as a direct

consequence of the lack of accountability of multi-national companies in

• our world today

“The wages you failed to pay the workmen who mowed your fields arecrying out against you. The cries of the harvesters have reached the
ears of the Lord Almighty” James 5:4

The Big Dress Campaign is seeking to make a difference in this area, by
hosting a 5 day festival in Sheffield in May 2008, highlighting these
issues, lobbying UK Government and exploring the relationship between the
creative arts, Christianity and social justice. Please support me however
you can by sponsoring me to raise essential funds that will make the next
leg of the Big Dress Tour possible in Sheffield.

Silence is great when it’s chosen, but hellish when it is forced.
