This week, Hafsa and Sultana attended the annual City of Sanctuary conference celebrating 20 years of Community Solidarity. They travelled to London and met with so many other organisations that have joined the movement. The day was filled with positivity and it really was a celebration of a movement that continues to grow and have a profound impact.
There were workshops during the day. For us, the focus was on co-production and how we can really incorporate this into the work of the charity. We also attended a session on trauma-informed practice which was insightful learning into the work that we are currently doing around creating a safe space and supporting mental health.
There was a powerful performance from a creative theatre group, and uplifting words from inspiring speakers, including Dr Inderjit Bhogal who founded the movement.
It’s time for the next chapter… watch this space.
