Wonderful Wednesdays are officially underway!

Last week, we kicked off our weekly pottery and gardening workshops with two brilliant groups.

🏺In the morning, our pottery club got hands-on with clay at the amazing — learning pinch pots, slabbing, and coiling.

🌱 In the afternoon, we reunited with the lovely crew from for our gardening club at WCC. Despite the rain, the group tackled some much-needed weeding and pruning, picked juicy tomatoes, and made chutney together at the Living Space. We were also thrilled to welcome Bethia, our new facilitator!

These free workshops run every Wednesday and are open to refugees, asylum seekers, and displaced migrants living in London.

Want to join us? Just drop us a message — we’d love to hear from you!

☀️ On Monday, our members from our Craft Club and Refugee Social Group gathered in the beautiful garden outside the WCC office for a joyful day of sunshine, creativity, and delicious food.

🎨 First up was a collaborative mosaic project, followed by tasty pizza🍕.

We even had a little dance (not pictured here!)

We wrapped up the afternoon with a peaceful mandala colouring session — the perfect way to unwind.

🌿 We’re so grateful for this vibrant space where our community can come together to connect, create, and celebrate each other. Here’s to more days like this!
