The Zen Charity with the aim of helping others through community events, aligns in
perfection with the spirit of the Zen School of Shiatsu .
These events have been spreading good feelings in all directions, bringing great
opportunities for zen shiatsu practitioners and students to put their wonderful shiatsu in
action (great opportunity for the receivers! lucky them!), being a fantastic way to spread
the name of our School across the city - and we have raised thousands of pounds!
Everything started when we launched the first London Shiatsuthon to Help a London Child in 2007.
The result of this successful and popular event, which is now a fixture in the Zen
School’s calendar, was a partnership with 95.8 Capital FM to support their charity Help a
London Child, which since 1975 has been doing outstanding work and making a
difference in the life of London's disadvantaged children.

We have first-hand experience of the results - one of our own Zen Shiatsu colleagues
has received grant-aid from HALC for a children’s playground she facilitates.
We promote 95.8 Capital FM’s charity at exhibitions such as the Vitality Show and the
Festivals of Mind Body Spirit and Mind Body Soul, keeping Help a London Child in the
consciousness of the new-age generation and donating a proportion of our exhibition
income.
We participated in Capital Rocks and The Marriott & Gold Burns Night Ball by offering
fantastic prizes.
Another permanent event in our calendar is now the London Marathon and the Royal
Parks Half Marathon.
(“...)the marathon was fantastic, your Shiatsu team was amazing and we are sooo
grateful for all their help. All the runners were sooo complementary and so grateful to
have a lovely massage after running the marathon. Please thank everyone who helped
out!!”
(Vicki Brown from HALC)
“Thank you again for your support on the day it really was very much appreciated as
always! ”
(Jo Graham from HALC)
We massaged both halves of Stamford-the-Lion
Mascot of Chelsea Football Club!

“I really wanted to say a HUGE thank you to all the team for the massages you kindly
provided to the tired runners(...)They went down fantastically well and everyone in the
team worked so hard and it was such a long day!”
(Jo Graham from HALC)
“Thank you soooo much for all your help organizing Sunday. It was such a great day and
we couldn’t have done it without you guys. All your practitioners were amazing and all
our runners couldn’t compliment them enough. It was lovely to meet Kris as well.”
(Vicki Brown from HALC)
We even gave shiatsu to the footballers at the Capital Kicks event at Chelsea Football
Club!
“huge thank you for organizing the practitioners for Capital Kicks! They were all so nice
and(...)the massages went down so well as always!”
(Jo Graham from HALC)
We participated as well in the charity event for
Royal Bank Scotland, in their offices in Liverpool
Street, just around the corner from the Zen
School!

The ICAP Charity Day event we participated in for Have a Heart, the sister charity of
Help a London Child which supports Children's Hospices UK, was a memorable day!
One of the biggest events in terms of money, we were excited and curious to go to the
huge brokers company, and when we arrived they were all in fancy dress!
Take a look:
“Thank you so much to you and the other practitioners,(...)you were truly fantastic!
The team at ICAP were extremely grateful for your services, as were all of us from Have
a Heart. ICAP Charity Day raised a staggering £11.5 million across all their offices
globally(...)so we're delighted.”
(Hannorah Lee from Have a Heart)
