Olivia Williams and Nicole Ansari-Cox to Host Charity Dinner AT SA Restaurant in London
London – Stars Olivia Williams and Nicole Ansari-Cox will lead the Vivat Bacchus charity dinner this June, aiming to support South African students.
The event, hosted at Vivat Bacchus Farringdon on 12th June 2025, follows the restaurant's January fundraiser, which raised over £15,000 for the Africa College Foundation (MII UK) (Charity No: 1199415). Building on this success, the evening will feature a South African Braai Feast, a curated wine tasting, a charity auction, and speeches from both actresses.
Olivia Williams, known for her roles in 'Dune' and 'The Crown,' will join Nicole Ansari-Cox of 'Succession' fame, both offering insights on the transformative power of education. The Africa College Foundation supports marginalised South African youth by funding access to education, meals, and career support through the Maharishi Invincibility Institute in Johannesburg.
The event comes at a crucial time as South Africa prepares to host the G20, B20, and V20 Summits in November 2025. It also precedes Youth Day on 16th June, commemorating the 1976 Soweto Uprising and the ongoing fight for educational equity.
Guests will enjoy an authentic multi-course South African Braai Feast paired with selected wines, followed by a charity auction. Proceeds will directly support the Education Town initiative, which has already helped over 20,000 students and positively impacted 150,000 family members.
Tickets for the charity dinner are available via the Vivat Bacchus website. For more details, visit the website.
