1Eid Festival
Redbridge is home to over 600 people that have been placed in hotels by the UK Home Office. The majority of the residents in temporary accommodation were observing the holy month of Ramadan while facing hardship and uncertainty.
Redbridge Council supported the Serving Humanity Foundation in fundraising to cover the cost of a unique offer tailored for refugee families and asylum seekers. The offer allowed families to attend the annual 1EID event held at a local park in Redbridge, inviting communities to come together and celebrate the end of the holy month.
The families had a wonderful experience, including one child who had never been to a fair before. At the event the Public Health team supported with our ‘Healthy Redbridge’ bus which provided blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar checks to all attendees.
Thank you for your contribution!
