Charley has a strong sense of community and a passion for providing opportunities to those who can miss out due to their background, race, economic status, environment and the alike. It was a goal of Charley's to one day launch a non-for-profit initiative of which its purpose would be to support the personal and professional endeavours of others.
In June 2023, after many years of research and planning, Charley launched The Industry Tea with a sold out event aimed at artists and talents in the creative fields of acting, music, dance, writing, etc. On the panel was Songwriter and Producer Dantae Johnson, Casting Director and Founder of Levile Ola Christian, Talent and Acquisition Outreach Manager (BBC) Rozana Green and Actress, Model and Presenter Eve-Yasmine Saoud-Easton.
Since its launch, The Industry Tea has curated and produced a handful of successful events securing partnerships with Theatre Deli in London, the ERIC APP, and has been sponsored by The Flixters podcast, E11 Studios, and Flex FM radio, to name a few.
