We have organised community Picnic in July 2015, attended by about 50 patrons and included a fun day out in Yorkshire Dales. We also have organised the yearly interfaith religious and cultural celebration of Durgapuja and Diwali--which went on for more than 7 days in total. We are organising a Picnic again this year on the 9th of july.
