AfH UK has now published its Annual Report for 2008/2009.  

Supplies are limited, but a pdf copy can be downloaded here.  Thanks to Rachael Davidson and Jennifer Cirne for their work putting it together and to Phil from Corporate Ink for the printing.

The annual report which showcases some of the projects and events that we contributed to in 2008/2009 will kick start our first major fundraising initiative.  We hope to reach our goal of raising £50,000  to take the charity into the next phase in its development with the establishment of an office to develop the breadth of work that we can accomplish.  Please help us in achieving this goal by donating here today!

A team of Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios, Architecture for Humanity and Buro Happold have been shortlisted from more than 400 entries from 65 countries.  You can see their entry here: http://www.openarchitecturenetwork.org/projects/4698

All the shortlisted entries will be part of a travelling exhibition which will be coming to London next year: details to follow.

The count is in and Nick Scannell, our London Marathon runner, has managed to raise almost £1900 for AfHUK – a fantastic effort.
