A fundraising evening supporting the cityscape designers of the future is being staged at St
George’s Hall. Raising The Roof promises to do just that with a line-up of musical talent taking to the stage in the sumptuous Concert Room at the grade I listed landmark.

Raising the Roof is a celebration of global diversity through culture, and money raised from the
event will help the ICCC International Student Design Fellowships supporting Architectural Leaders
of the Future.

For the first time two prestigious ICCC Caring Citizen of the Humanities awards will be given on
the evening for the good works of UK individuals. One of the awards will be presented by Assistant
Mayor Councillor Nick Small.

A special reception will take place ahead of the evening where VIP audience members will have the chance to meet the artists while enjoying refreshments in the surroundings of the 160-year-old Lime Street hall.

Alongside the individual performances, the event will pre-launch a charity single, Talk to Me, in aid
of the Williams Syndrome Foundation in the UK. Williams Syndrome, a rare and randomly
occurring genetic disorder which affects around one in 18,000 people in the UK and causes
physical, cardiac and mental health problems, sensory, behavioural, social and processing issues
and learning disabilities.
