2012 will be an exciting year!  People from all over the world will descend on London to celebrate the 30th Olympiad and the 14th Paralympics.

The Leprosy Mission is proud to announce, in association with Southwark Cathedral, that we will be holding our own prestigious event.  From 23-27 August 2012 the Cathedral will be the magnificent backdrop for a Festival of Flowers with the theme of 'Transformation'.

We hope that this architectural gem in the heart of London will draw thousands of people and showcase the work of some of the very best church flower arrangers in the country.

We are fortunate to have secured the world-renowned designer Mig Kimpton as our creative director.  Under his guidance we will develop four key themes:

• transformation through the good news of Jesus Christ
• transformation through the work of The Leprosy Mission
• transformation through sport (particularly for the disabled)
• transformation in the community

We are looking for around 70 groups of talented flower arrangers to take part.  If you are interested please apply by sending three photographs of displays your group has created during the last twelve months with an
application form.  If you prefer to receive an application form and background notes by post, please call
01733 370505 to request a form.

Entries to this prestigious event are now being accepted.

If you have any questions please contact Head of Community Fundraising and Volunteering, Marilyn Gregory on 0161 427 9495

The London Welsh Male Voice Choir will be in concert at Southwark Cathedral on 29 January 2011 for the benefit of The Leprosy Mission.  Tickets will be on sale at the end of September, available from The Leprosy Mission
