2020 has been a tough year for many but NEPOMAK UK is as committed as ever to helping those less fortunate than us this Christmas. For the last three years, NEPOMAK UK has successfully run its Santa Shoebox campaign delivering gifts to impoverished children in Cyprus and to the schoolchildren enclaved in Rizokarpasso. Given the unfortunate difficulties and limitations that the Coronavirus pandemic has brought upon us, we are unable to run our Santa Shoebox campaign this year but vulnerable children in Cyprus need our help more than ever before. We have been working hard to organise a whole host of community-centred events to raise money which we will donate to charities supporting children in Cyprus.
This year we will be working with two charities: (1) Caritas Cyprus, who have already assisted more than 3,200 families this year and currently support 700 vulnerable children in Cyprus; and (2) Help Rizokarpasso UK, who support the schoolchildren enclaved in Rizokarpasso by providing essential charitable aid.
One such event is our live cooking class with celebrity chef, Tonia Buxton. Tonia has become the face of Greek food and culture. Her Royal Television Society award winning show ‘My Greek Kitchen’ has had two successful series and was followed by ‘My Cypriot Kitchen.’ These series are a global phenomenon, shown on The Discovery Channels Real Time, Travel & Living and Home & Health. It is presently being shown on the Together Channel.
On Thursday 26 November at 6.30pm, join us for a live Zoom webinar straight from Tonia Buxton’s kitchen as she shows us how to make traditional Greek and Cypriot dishes. Tonia will be teaching us two quick and easy recipes for Honey and Feta Filo Pastry Wrap and a Cypriot staple, Tzatziki! Set your Zoom streaming device in your own kitchen to cook along!

The community support and charitable spirit never ceases to amaze us; as a tight-knit Cypriot diaspora it is vitally important that we work closely together on charitable campaigns such as this one to do what we can to support Cypriot children who find themselves in much less fortunate positions than ourselves. If you would like to get involved and help us in spreading some Christmas cheer, you can make a donation through our JustGiving page:
