Code Blue Party
Members of the Consular Corps of London gathered for a post New Year’s celebration to chase away the winter blues with a festive Code Blue Party. Looking cool in every shade of blue, consuls partied with a purpose and £700 was raised from ticket sales which were donated to Place2Be, a charity which helps youngsters who are victims of bullying – many of them migrant kids.
Consuls started the night with cocktails courtesy of Chacalli De Decker, a winter feast, party poppers and a raffle after which the dance floor was opened to the sounds of Eiffel 65’s I’m Blue (what else!?).
After all the work these diplomats have done over the past year to assist their citizens in need, it was much appreciated that sponsors VFS, Rowland Brothers International, BMW and Chacalli De Decker were able to treat them to a night of revelry.
