Our ‘Echoes of Belonging’ exhibition continues. This celebrates the talents of Muslim members of our community, and others in the Refugee and Asylum Seeker community who are frequently affected by Islamophobia regardless of personal belief.
The work was created as part of Photo Weston in collaboration with internationally recognised photographer Michal Iwanowski, following his recent ‘Go Home, Polish’ photographic project.
The exhibition can be viewed Mon to Fri, 12pm to 5pm.

CURRENT PROJECTS
Greening The Other Place
Thanks to Sirona Foundation, we’re creating exciting new growing spaces in the front entrance, in the meeting room and in our back yard. We’ll be growing edible plants and, thanks to our expert team, the design will include innovative integrated composting and self-watering systems.
Would you like to help make the planting troughs or plan the planting? We’re also looking for volunteers who can help us care for all the plants. If you would like to get involved, please do get in touch.
Our public living room is open every afternoon, on weekdays (2pm-5pm, Monday to Friday). Come and relax, help yourself to a cuppa from our community kitchen and have a chat. We’d love to see you. (We’ve also joined the excellent Camerados movement. Find out more and spread the word!)
