APRIL 2024
Eid event
We had an Eid Celebration at White City Community for the holy day of Eid ul Fitr on the 20th of April 2024. We had a great turnout from a large section of the community, who joined us for the Eid dinner. Attendees indulged in different cultural foods from Samosas, spring rolls and a collection of different rice from around the world. It was great seeing how a religious celebration can unite people from different backgrounds and bring them together to enjoy the day. There was a festive atmosphere, with everyone chatting, laughing and enjoying the occasion. The event was in collaboration with Health and Wellbeing for All who helped make it a memorable event.
FEBRUARY 2024
Woman’s Day Event
The Women’s Day event on 28th February 2024 was very informative and empowering as it raised awareness on a lot of crucial issues that are affecting women’s lives in our communities. This was in collaboration with Health and welling for All, where key topics for the 3-hour session included FGM, domestic violence, sexual health and mental health. The women engaged in useful conversations on these sometimes-taboo subjects, and they shared resources on how to overcome the challenges that those in the community faced in terms of the issues. It was great to see such engagement on the day and see the shared solidarity for women everywhere.
