07 Oct Slam-Man Dances Again to Save Young Lives
The original Slam-Man, of the popular 2005 music video Slam by Pendulum, is returning to the streets of London on the 28th October*. Slam-Man will rip off his shirt again, tie his tie around his head and dance without a care to raise awareness and money for children at risk of self-harm and worse!!
Slam-Man, Paul Nicholls, is also founder of the Crystal Kingdom Social Enterprise CIC, which has an overall purpose to reduce suicide and self-harm in children and young adults. Paul is inviting all Pendulum fans and everyone who wants to have some fun and make history by demonstrating and reinforcing the message of the Crystal Kingdom, to ‘believe you are amazing just as you are’.
Paul Nicholls, CEO, Crystal Kingdom Social Enterprise CIC said, “I believe the Pendulum video caught so much attention, because I simply ripped off my shirt and danced without a care about what people thought. Kids need to believe in themselves and not worry about what people think, which can be a daily challenge that impacts their mental health.
He continued, “Having lost my younger brother to suicide, I know how important it is to support children’s mental health and reduce suicide and self-harm to zero! So, if I can rip my shirt off as Slam-Man 17 years later, and dance without a care to demonstrate that it really doesn’t matter what people think, then let’s do it.”
The Crystal Kingdom runs several initiatives supporting the mental health of children, including reading, phoenix and singing workshops in primary and nursery schools.
Paul concluded, “We are raising money to deliver an initial 150 workshops to key stage 2 primary school children over the next 12 months. We want all state schools to have access to these workshops free of charge and we need your support.”
Donate as little as £5 if you can, but please share this link with friends and family and your wider social media network to help raise awareness.
