Fundraising and Events

Whether you’re walking, dancing, cooking, or cheering from the sidelines, fundraising with Ashanti Development is all about connection, community and creating lasting change in Ghana.

Visit Us at Camden Market

We’re proud to have a stall at Buck Street Market, part of the iconic Camden Market in London. Known for its eco-conscious ethos and ethical traders, it’s the perfect home for our Ashanti Development stall – a space where every item tells a story.

The stall is run by our co-founder, Martha Boadu, and features handmade products from Ghana, many of which come from our own Dressmaking School. The school offers vocational training to young women, many of them unmarried mothers, providing an alternative to a life of hardship and helping them build independent futures.

By purchasing from our stall, you’re directly supporting these women, while also raising funds for Ashanti Development’s wider work in Ghana.

You’ll find us inside Buck Street Market. We’re usually there on Saturdays – but get in touch first if you’d like to meet Martha in person

Our Annual Events

 

Summer Celebration – ‘A Taste of Ghana’

Every July, we gather for a joyful celebration of Ghanaian food and culture. Hosted by Ashanti-Londoners as a thank you to our supporters, this lively summer party features traditional food, music and community spirit. All proceeds go directly to projects in Ghana.

 

Annual Sponsored Walk

Every September, we lace up our walking shoes for a sponsored walk to raise funds for vital projects. It’s a relaxed, fun day out – every step counts.

 

Auctions, Galas & More

Throughout the year, we host a range of fundraising events, from exciting auctions to sponsored swims and marches.
