The Eurovision Song Contest, that annual festival of big hair, ballsy tunes and tight trousers, is almost upon us. As the 50th Eurovision reaches its climax on Saturday 21st May in Kiev , Terrence Higgins Trust (THT) is asking fans to turn their annual Eurovision party into a fundraiser for the charity.

To ensure that the evening goes with a boom-bang-a-bang, THT has created a pack of materials with the emphasis firmly on participation. There's a CD of karaoke hits, so guests can relive the glory days of Bucks Fizz's 'Making Your Mind Up' or Sonia's 'Better The Devil You Know'. And if the vocal cords just aren't up to it anymore, there's a quiz to separate the Eurovision die-hards from the fair-weather friends.

More adventurous Eurovision fans can also order a string of Eurovision bunting, THT balloons, party posters and collection tins.

To find out more, or to order a party pack, call Simon Whiteman on 020 7816 4635 or email simon.whiteman@tht.org.uk .
