A Celebration of Culture: Feast and Film Fundraiser 2024

In December 2024, we proudly celebrated the diversity of our clients, representing over 80 nationalities, with the first-ever Feast and Film Fundraiser.

Held at Leadworks Plymouth and supported by the Giveback Project, who helped us screen the powerful documentary by Suhaib Gasmelbari, the event brought people together for an evening of cultural exchange and community spirit. Guests enjoyed a variety of delicious global cuisines, lovingly prepared by six of our service users, showcasing the rich flavors and traditions from their home countries.

With a shared meal, a thought-provoking film, and meaningful discussions about asylum seekers’ experiences, the evening fostered understanding and solidarity. Thanks to the generosity of our supporters, we raised £1,067, with all proceeds going to support destitute asylum seekers. It was an unforgettable celebration of food, film, and the power of community to make a positive impact.
