As it stands, the UK is an anomaly compared to the rest of Europe. Rather than viewing its nighttime culture as a valuable point of attraction, it is – more often than not – discussed in relation to antisocial or criminal behaviour. These attitudes were perhaps best summed up in comments made by Commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe. In a speech to the Royal Society of Arts, he claimed that 80 percent of crimes committed in the UK were drink-related, and further suggested that a way of combating this issue would be to reduce the number of pubs.
Sapphire is doing something that has never been done before. Have you ever heard of a Christian Night Club? When have you ever heard of a club that plays no rough abusive secular music and sells no alcohol? When have you ever heard that a community organisation opened up a nightclub that positively empowers young people? We are taking the change to them. We are not afraid to step into places that people have been afraid to. We are telling our young people that we love them and will ensure that they have the best so that they can arise to be the leaders we know they can be.
The Sapphire Rave Club can step in as a force for good to help reduce the violence and create a place of love and power. The night will involve good food, drinks and music. We will also be ensuring that every person that leaves the night, will not be leaving without an impact but leaves with an impaction. We not only create a fun atmosphere but a creation of inspiration and purpose. We aim to enable each young person that comes in broken, leaves with a touch of greatness. We aim to birth forth dreams and cause their face to shine with new and boundless possibilities.
The Sapphire Community Group, presents “The Sapphire Rave Club”.
The launch of the club will be on Friday 27th September
