On Wednesday 19 May 2022, we hosted the film screening and post-screening discussion of the film “Hive” at our centre in Longsight. It is an award-winning film and a true story of resilience and hope with strong parallels to the story of many Syrian women and families. HIVE is a powerful tribute to everyday women who quietly, and against the odds, change lives.
Two Iftaars have been successfully organised for the Syrian community in Manchester during the blessed month of Ramadan at our centre in Longsight. Every Iftaar was attended by nearly 70 people who had their Iftaar and performed taraweeh prayers together. It was a lovely atmosphere to reconnect with our community in Ramadan again after 2 years of lockdown because of Covid.
On Saturday 25 April 2022, Rethink Rebuild Society participated in a campaign to Keep Manchester tidy. A group of volunteers from the Syrian community in Manchester gathered together to clean the streets of Longsight and do litter picking. We wish to thank all of those who were involved especially children for their hard work.
On Thursday 21 April 2022, and in partnership with Mawlawi Kurdish Cultural Centre Shekh Raouf Barzinji Mosque, we delivered 2 presentations in Arabic about three important types of cancer in the UK that can be diagnosed early by the NHS free screenings: breast cancer, cervical cancer, and bowel cancer.
On Saturday 16 April 2022, we organised our annual fundraising Iftaar for Iqraa School (north Syria) at Eastern Pearl Banqueting Hall in Manchester. This school provides vital educational and psychological support to about 500 children in Syria.
