Summer Party June '24
In June, we had our summer party and fundraiser for Shamida Ethiopia.
What a fantastic turn out from our network!
Shamida www.shamidaethiopia.com provides high quality holistic care and support for orphans and vulnerable children, families, and the community. Thanks to Katie and her family for providing delicious home-baked brownies, cookies and cakes, as well as bracelets and facepainting! We raised over £230! It was wonderful to meet familiar faces from our community and to meet some new ones. We enjoyed some delicious jollof rice, jerk chicken and rice 'n' peas. As usual, the famous BPA rum punch went down very well! It was a beautiful day and the kids enjoyed running around and playing basketball in the playground. Thank you to everyone for coming and we look forward to seeing you next time.

The BPA would like to give special thanks to Steven for his inspirational speech about life in the community and the power of positive communityaction to make change.
Far from sugar coated, but Steven's communication and authenticity certainly resonated with our network including our young people.
Plenty of food for thought before the banquet of Caribbean and African food for our guests to enjoy!
Be part of the solution
Thanks to all our guest and families
