REMINDER: NOVEMBER 27 - THEATRE PERFORMANCE

On November 27, everyone is invited to the FINAL THEATRE PERFORMANCE of MMWF's cultural project MEMORY THEATRE, funded by Westfield Stratford. 20 young actors from our Borough have worked long and hard over the past months to transform a variety of real-life stories into a screenplay for theatre. Now this script has become a play.

The show will take place at Brady Art Centre in Hanbury Street, Tower Hamlets (just a 5-minute walk off Brick Lane) and is about 60 minutes long. Entrance is obviously FREE. More details on the exact time at which the play will start are to come in the next weeks.

Thanks to our supporters

We at the Monakka Monowar Welfare Foundation wish to take this opportunity to warmly thank Tesco, Network Rail, and London Underground for contributing to our charity activities by booking collections outside their stores and stations. We all know the collection tin is a powerful tool.

  

Armfield Pensioners' Club / MMWF - a new cooperation.

Over the last months, we at The Monakka Monowar Welfare Foundation have come in contact with the Armfield Pensioners' club, a registered charity based at 42 Onslow Gardens, Enfield. The APC provides recreational facilities and social activities to elderly people in the North London area. As in our case, their commitment is to improve the quality of life of their weakest and most disadvantaged neighbours and fellow citizens. Today, three of our volunteers have inaugurated the collaboration between APC and MMWF by travelling to Enfield where they delivered an IT course at the APC's facilities. We are certain that the cooperation between our two charities will be long and fruitful, and certainly hope to be able to announce more joint-activities in the very next future.

Clothworkers’ Foundation: “Tower Hamlets in Your Hands” - an update

Once again, we must thank the Clothworkers' Foundation for the generous grant it awarded to us. Thanks to their support we are now running "Tower Hamlets in Your Hands", a project of which this blog is an integral part. The project is addressed to long-term unemployed people living in Tower Hamlets who want to provide a service to their community while learning new skills, expendable in the job market. The participants to the project receive free training on IT skills, setting up a blog and news publishing.
