Volunteers sought from both sides of the English & Scottish border, in race against time to help in the ending of unique cultural film documentary between Leics and Edinburgh, and raise thousands of pounds for good causes, in the process, “Band Aid style!”

 

A non-profit Leicester based voluntary PR agency, SSCOM GROUP (Simon Shiekh Communications Group) which has recently become new members of the Leics and Edinburgh Chamber of Commerces, respectively, is now looking for as many as 30 volunteers from Leics and Edinburgh, to work on a mini-“Band-Aid” style charity drive. The volunteers will also be encouraged in “reality TV style” tasks, to “make friends” with their counterparts in the respective cities of Leics & Edinburgh. The Group is also on the search for official “mascots” from Leicester and Edinburgh, to play a major part in this venture.

The volunteers are needed to work on a continuing film project “An Insiders Guide to PR” looking at the multi-cultural links between Leicester and Edinburgh via Public Relations. The documentary's footage over 2 years (Aug 06 to Aug 08), will now be edited down to 30 minutes. This will also be part of the final edit, which hopes to be 80 or 90 minutes and will be shown at two charity events to come, but professional film-makers will now work on the final filming/editing. The project now has the big potential to span across the rest of the East Midlands and Scotland, from two lead cities, never seen before and as a real first for two British cities, ever! It all spans from a pen-pal friendship between the Group’s Founder and a Jazz Musician in Edinburgh, which began in August 1999.

They will also work in the run-up to two glitzy charity dinner events to be part of the film documentary. In Leicester, billed as a “Murrayfield Dress Rehearsal/Matt Hampson Charity Evening”, it’s now anticipated to take place at the end of January or February, 2009, at the home of it’s football club, and is set to be a fascinating comparison with Murrayfield Rugby Stadium in Edinburgh. Funds are to be raised for the Leics based Matt Hampson Trust Fund.

Other local charities are invited to “bid” for the chance to benefit from the fund-raisers, from both cities, alongside the Matt Hampson Trust Fund.

At the Leicester event, they will be given a preview of the final filming event, billed as "The Big One!"-to take place at Murrayfield Rugby Stadium Corporate suites, anticipated for February/March 2009, meet/hear a speech from East Midlands MEP-UKIP’s Derek Clark, find out what the group’s work is about, get to see snippets of the filming so far, and get the chance to eat a “slice” of the group’s 10th anniversary “birthday cake”, exclusively and more big surprises planned.

Founder of the Group, Ayaz Sheikh, from Leicester said, “We are looking for talented individuals from both cities, to be part of a real PR experience and something sensational. For those who have time on their hands, they can expect to represent an exciting and interesting project, and reap rewards like never before. There’s nothing to lose, but lots to gain!”
