Bringing diverse Wokingham communities together

Residents from different cultures and backgrounds are invited to get together next week at a free community event open to all, under the theme “Action not words – making it work in Wokingham”.

Organised by Wokingham Borough Council in partnership with Thames Valley Police, the event takes place at Shehnai, 75-77 London Street in Reading, from 4pm to 8.30pm on Wednesday July 11.

Opened by Cllr Frank Browne, leader of the council, it will feature food from different countries, entertainment, community presentations and local facts and figures about diverse communities across the Wokingham borough.

Celebrating what all Wokingham communities have in common, guests will have the chance to take part in workshops on arts, culture and leisure, food and schools.

Keynote speakers will be Elise Clarke, head of cohesion and faiths from the Department of Communities and Local Government, and Ruwan Uduwerage-Perera, formerly of the National Police Improvement Agency.

A buffet dinner will be provided from 7pm.

For more information and to reserve a place, telephone Ashwani Gupta on (0118) 974 6790 or Josie Wragg on (0118) 974 6002.
