Tickets are LIVE!

“Join us for Rhythm of Hope — a powerful charity concert uniting communities to support the people of St Elizabeth, Jamaica, after Hurricane Beryl.”

Organisers of the highly anticipated Rhythm of Hope charity concert, set to take place on 15 June 2025 at Woolwich Works, Greenwich, London, are thrilled to announce that tickets are now officially on sale.

The event aims to raise vital funds following the devastation caused by last year’s hurricane across the Caribbean.

Among the hardest hit was St Elizabeth Parish in Jamaica, a region affectionately known as the “breadbasket of Jamaica”due to its crucial contribution to the nation’s food supply.

In response, members of the Jamaican diaspora in the UK, Canada, and the USA have joined forces to support urgent rebuilding efforts and bolster the island’s resilience against future disasters.

The concert is being staged in collaboration with the Global Jamaica Diaspora Youth Council UK (GJDC UK), long-standing humanitarian charity Food For The Poor (FFTP), and UK-based youth organisation The Safety Box. Together, they are launching what is hoped to become an annual event, uniting communities through music and a shared purpose.

FFTP, now marking 43 years of service to Jamaica, is also celebrating its anniversary in June and will be incorporating Rhythm of Hope into its official commemorations.

“At Food For The Poor (FFTP) Jamaica, we were heartbroken to hear of the devastation which ravaged the farms of our hardworking farmers, who’ve been struggling after Hurricane Beryl,” said William Massias, Acting Executive Director of FFTP. “But we are elated that our Jamaicans in the Diaspora have recognised their dire needs and are taking action through the Rhythm of Hope concert — an initiative we wholeheartedly endorse and support.”

The agricultural backbone of Jamaica, St Elizabeth, now faces mounting challenges from the climate crisis. Increasingly intense hurricanes, rising sea levels, and hotter temperatures are resulting in reduced crop yields, declining livestock productivity, and the very real threat of food insecurity — especially in low-lying, flood-prone areas.

Nathaniel Peat (Above), UK South Representative for the GJDC and CEO of The Safety Box, is among the key figures urging support:

“The Caribbean has faced unimaginable losses — livelihoods, homes, entire communities devastated. But together, we can bring restoration, rebuilding, and renewal. I encourage everyone to come out, not only to enjoy the music and culture but to stand in support of those in need. And with Father’s Day on the same day, what better way to celebrate than with family, joy, and purpose? Your tickets will help to make an impact.”

This is a heartfelt call to Jamaicans worldwide: your support is needed now more than ever to protect, rebuild, and restore communities in the wake of this crisis.
