The King of Rock-n-Roll will be attending the first ever fund-raising event for the charity Sikat, which promotes education in a disadvantaged Philippine community. 

The evening of dancing and dinner will be held at Holy Redeemer Church Hall in Oval, South London onSaturday 23 January from 5pm. Renowned Elvis impersonator … will perform a set of rock n roll classics supported by other dance acts. These will include a traditional Philippine dance recital and a DJ spinning tunes until 11.30pm. 

Throughout the evening there will be a variety of buffet food available including Philippine cuisine and vegetarian options. The church will also provide a fully-stocked bar. 

Sikat was inspired by one family’s connection to the Calingag community in West Philippines.

The UK-based charity was set up in 2008 after the founder Linda Manlises’ sister paid for a school to be built in the village. Since then over 200 children have passed through its doors. Tickets cost £20 per head and proceeds from this event will go towards improving conditions in the classrooms and providing new equipment and books.

Full address is Holy Redeemer Church, 20 Brixton Road, Oval, London SW9 6BU.
