Communities Together Celebration

Central ward residents and Aawaz held a celebration event to bring local communities together. The communities together event was attended by over 85 residents and 15 guests, including the local councillor Ayub and  Community Leader Mr Safdar.

Patron of Aawaz Mrs Jean Battle welcomed everyone and explained how this event was the culmination of three workshops where residents had planned, designed and organised the programme to help bring more understanding and friendships and to celebrate the similarities and the differences.

Hyndburn Park School Choir opened the event and Father Lawrence talked about the importance of Christmas. Community Leader Mr Safdar explained how the message of integration and friendship is essential to good community neighbourhoods.
