As part of our celebration of the ‘Loved and Wanted Here’ project,

I am pleased to say that the London Deputy Mayor for Communities and Justice (Debbie Weekes-Bernard) and some of her entourage visited our Pop-Up Coffee Morning on 12th August at ETNA.

Debbie has offered to meet up for a more in-depth discussion about the charity, which we hope will lead to a new and productive collaboration.

The session was attended by 23 R.EAL individuals including learners, volunteers, one trustee, ex learners, and two children!

Home languages of the participants were wonderfully diverse and included:-

Spanish, Cantonese, Urdu, Madarin, Arabic, Vietnamese, Latvian, Hindi, Punjabi, Turkish, Farsi and Japanese
