CFAB (Children and Families across Borders) is a unique UK-based charity which identifies and protects children who have been separated from family members due to conflict, abduction, migration, divorce and asylum. All Embassies in London are invited to take part in its International Spring Fair and Food Festival every year and all income will be donated to CFAB charity organisation for the purpose of providing children with a happy childhood. 2015 marks CFAB's 60th Anniversary. London South Bank University’s Confucius Institute for Traditional Chinese Medicine (CITCM) has been invited to perform at this year’s event.

The CITCM Performance Troupe took part in the 56th CFAB International Spring Fair and Food Festival at the Kensington Town Hall on 12th May, 2015.

The CITCM Performance Troupe presented various traditional cultural performances for nearly an hour, which attracted over 200 people. Beautiful and animated dances, powerful martial arts performances, well-balanced taiji fan demonstration gained rounds of applause and cheers from the audience. Many people showed great interest in traditional Chinese culture and took part in the interaction sections. The performances attracted many people to the Chinese stand and boosted its charity sale.
