We were honoured to celebrate our volunteers at the LEAH Summer Party in Kingston Guildhall, joined by the Mayor, Cllr Noel Hadjimichael, the Mayoress, and the Deputy Mayor.

Their inspiring words reminded us how vital language and community are, and how much our volunteers make Kingston stronger.

🎉 Celebrating Refugee Week at Heston where our english class came alive with creativity and connection as learners explored what community means to them through language, history, and art.

Thank you to Hounslow Council for making this possible.
