Beverley has popped online to say a big 'thank you to all the messages and best wishes' she recieved for her birthday, and an even 'bigger thank you for all the donations to Christian Aid, as a birthday gift it is truly the most special thing anyone could do for me. Thank you so much for such a beautiful idea.' The singer also mentioned how proud she was of her mum for putting together the 'Christian Aid Auction' event, which raised £1,200 :)

Beverley Knight's clothes and shoe collection will be sold off tonight at a charity auction event, being held by Bev's mother, Delores. This is due to be taking place at the All Nations Christian Centre, Temple Street, Wolverhampton at 7pm. There will be a £1 entry cost, and all proceeds from this and the auction will be sent to the Christian Aid in Brazil cause.

This event is part of many that Delores has set up, since visiting Brazil with Bev in October 2002. Beverley states that 'The trip to Brazil organised by Christian Aid left an everlasting impression on myself and my mum. This is the reason my mum decided to put this event together. We just hope to raise enough money to help and support thosewe saw suffering in Salvador, Brazil.'

:: 13.03.03 : Miss Knight Sings Praises Of Home Talent ::
Last night Beverley Knight returned to her home city of Wolverhampton, for a gig that was taking place to help promote new talent in the area. She was joined by a string of heavyweights from the music industry for 'Rendezvous' at The Terrace, where she performed the finale number 'Ain't Nobody'.

After the show, Bev said "It is a great idea, there's not much of an outlet for music in Wolverhampton except the kind of time honoured route of pubs, and definitely not for soul, R&B and gospel - except the church and that doesn't appeal to the majority of people." In Wolverhampton you have the Varsity, that is a very genre-specific crowd, outside of that you are looking at very tiny pubs and clubs. Then you jump to the Civic Hall and that is not a jump most musicians can get involved in."
