A NEW project showcasing West Berkshire’s diversity will be launched next week.
Community United is holding a free online community forum on Wednesday to launch the Belonging Project West Berkshire and everyone is invited.
Community United is a not-for-profit, non-partisan community-based organisation supporting communities of diverse cultures, ethnicity and religion, who live and work in West Berkshire.
It aims to bring communities together, work to eliminate discrimination, promote positive relationships between different communities and advocate equal opportunities for all in West Berkshire.
Guest speakers include Royal Berkshire Hospital consultant Dr Deepak Ravindran, National Asian Cricket Council chairman Gulfraz Riaz, former Newbury mayor and trustee of Fair Close Centre and Volunteer Centre West Berkshire Margo Payne and pastor of Bridge Church, Newbury, Mark Landreth-Smith.
Newbury MP Laura Farris will also address the forum.
The Belonging Project West Berkshire provides an opportunity for people living and/or working in the district to engage and take part by sharing their ideas, challenges and suggestions of how to enhance their experience of living here.
