Last week, United Colleges Group hosted the Westminster Council Community Eid Celebration at Paddington Green Campus. Westminster City Council staff member, Rafika Ougad, led the event, which was organised to support social cohesion and reconciliation between local Kurdish and Iraqi communities.

The evening welcomed around 200 local residents, including children and adults. The community was encouraged to share and celebrate their heritage with one another over delicious food and activities, including cultural exhibitions, games, VR experiences, DJs, henna stations and photo booths.

Several Westminster Councillors and both current and former MPs joined the event, which marked an inspiring opportunity for neighbours of different cultural backgrounds to unite in the festivities.
