NOT ONLY did Toyin shut down the Odeon Cinema in Greenwich, London with her hit movie screening “The Ghost and the tout too”.

Toyin joined hands with a charity called Elevate Her UK to supply brand new school uniform to girls from low-income households.

The uniform giveaway was a way to relieve parents of the financial burdens that the pandemic has caused so far.

Elevate Her UK as seen on ITV News provide support to vulnerable teenage girls and young women from disadvantaged backgrounds by offering mentoring, outreach and empowerment workshops.

They visit secondary schools to educate, inspire and motivate young people on current issues they may face.

Founder of Elevate Her UK, Ebony King says “I take pride in supporting my community the best way I can. Growing up I was very misunderstood. Labelled as a troubled child and when I became a teenage mother, I had a lack of mental health support so being able to help young girls that are going through similar things that I went through makes me feel happy”.

Most of the girls Elevate Her UK work with have experienced school exclusion, domestic abuse, gang grooming, mental health issues, drug abuse, teenage pregnancy and more.

The event was also picked up and published by The Guardian Nigeria. https://guardian.ng/life/award-winning-actress-toyin-abraham-supports-disadvantaged-schoolgirls-during-uk-visit/
