Intergenerational creative workshop at Hason Raja Centre Eid Mubarak to those who have completed a month of fasting. Thank you to Tamarind Theatre

Our Ramadan Lights creative session was a resounding success, led by storyteller Rez and Delara, a youth arts facilitator. Designed to foster intergenerational dialogue, the session brought together children aged 5–10 and their guardians. Participants warmed up with group activities and decorated moons and stars. The lantern-making workshop was facilitated by the centre’s volunteers, who captivated the audience with stories about the significance of light across cultural and religious traditions. Guided by local creatives, the volunteer-led session introduced Ramadan and marked the start of fasting for many families in our community.

Company for the resources, the Hason Raja Centre and volunteers for facilitating, Tower Hamlets Parents Forum for their support, and the participants for joining. To sign up for future workshops, email: hello@spitalfieldsha.co.uk

A successful residents training programme This year Spitalfields Housing Association (SHA) teamed up with a consortium of local organisations to offer our residents an excellent training programme designed to enhance knowledge and skills. Participants were able to develop new skills and boost their confidence. Our Resident Training Programme for 2024-25 featured a wide range of topics tailored to diverse interests —from strengthening community involvement and enhancing home knowledge, to food growing and health and safety. Courses were available for residents involved in resident associations, offering guidance on chairing meetings, organising community events, and with accreditation and nationally recognised qualifications. All courses were free for SHA tenants, leaseholders, and participants from partner landlords.

Keep an eye out for future training programmes, or email hello@spitalfieldsha.co.uk to be put on the mailing list.
