Philanthropic organisation - VIN Club holds its flagship 4th annual Black-Tie charity event on November 13 2021 - in support of Heritage Outreach, a UK registered charity that supports orphans and vulnerable children in Nigeria.
Known for its charitable activities in the United Kingdom and Nigeria, VIN Club was established in 2014 by 11 like-minded individuals with the aim of contributing positively to the “Big Society” primarily through its charity work. Other areas of the club’s interest are Investments, Entertainment and Empowerment.
In previous years, VIN club raised a total of £8,800 for Sickle Cell Society UK in 2019; and £9,000 for Autism Initiatives UK in 2018, and almost £14,000 for RACET - a UK based charity that helps children in rural communities in Nigeria attend school.
In addition to these fund-raising activities, VIN club also has charitable pledges it honours every year such as sponsoring university education for 2 RACET students, supporting the less privileged on the streets, and donating food and other materials to food banks.
At the start of 2021, the club voted to continue with the “Charity begins at home” approach it adopted in 2019, by supporting a charity that operates in Nigeria but under UK charity commission governance. Heritage Outreach has an orphanage in Isonyin-Ijebu where they provide shelter, care, comfort and education of orphans and vulnerable children.
