Featuring performances by the Wavertree Community Gospel Choir - a multi-faith and multi-generational choir whose repertoire includes gospel and uplifting popular music. Singer Nicaise Koffi (Kanga Koffi), who uses his vocal talents to say thank you to his adopted home in Liverpool and to raise money to support the city’s rough sleepers. A popular recording artist in his home country, Kanga, was forced to leave after producing the song ‘El Mutino’ that was critical of his country’s leaders following a military coup. 10 percent of the royalties from his single ‘Give It To Me’ go to the Whitechapel Centre to support its work with rough sleepers.

Kiki is currently crowned Mini Miss Global Darling and over the last year, she has used her platform to raise awareness for Black Lives Matter, and started a successful campaign of donating anti-racism boxes to schools, with over 30 businesses involved to date.
