🇵🇹 Celebração do Dia de Portugal, de Camões e das Comunidades Portuguesas 🇬🇧

What an incredible day filled with music, food, friendship, and the strength of our Portuguese community here in the UK. The celebration came alive with amazing performances, great energy, and the spirit that keeps us connected — no matter how far from home.

A huge thank‑you to all the artists, partners, volunteers, and guests who helped make this event truly special. Your support, presence, and passion are what keep our culture alive away from home!

Viva Portugal and our global Portuguese community! 🇵🇹❤️🇬🇧

Portuguese talent in the UK. We came across a story about London’s first Portuguese bakery — a reminder of how far our community has come and how much we continue to contribute to British cultural life. From bakeries to community clubs, from festivals to charities, our people create something special together. We stand in full support of every Portuguese business that carries our heritage forward. Visit this bakery when you're in London, pop over to Golborne Road you'll find what they claim to have the best Pastel de Nata!
To the team behind this bakery: parabéns. Your success is our pride too.

Owner Carlos Gomes has seen his annual rent in Notting Hill increase from £2,700 to £60,000

Celebrating Community, Culture, and Compassion
I know it’s been a busy few weeks of planning and organising between the Crawley Portuguese Heritage Club and the Forget Me Nots charity, two causes I truly believe in and keep me busy - and now I can finally take a moment to share this beautiful highlight.

At the Festa do Divino Espírito Santo in Tilgate, our Forget Me Nots leaflets were promoted not only for the work we do but also as a way to celebrate and promote the Portuguese language. From event staff and local residents to special guests like the Mayor of Calheta, Madeira, so many supported the cause — proudly taking photos holding the leaflets and showing their solidarity. 💙

A huge thank you to "Festeiras" and Comunidade Catolica Portuguesa em Crawley & Grupo de Animação Alma Portuguesa and the local volunteers making this annual celebration a success!! We know it’s not an easy task, but once again the delivered a wonderful event filled with faith, joy, and tradition. 🙏

At the Crawley Portuguese Heritage Club, we’re proud of the effort that went into creating such a meaningful initiative — and even prouder to see the leaflets now in talks of reaching local GP surgeries, dental practices, and the library in Crawley… and who knows, maybe even the West Sussex archives one day! 🇵🇹🇬🇧

Feliz Dia das Famílias!
Today, on the International Day of Families, I’m reminded that family isn’t measured only by blood — but by love, support, sacrifice, patience, and the people who stand beside us through every chapter of life.

Families come in many forms. Some are loud, some quiet. Some are close by, others live across oceans. Some are built through friendship, community, and shared struggles. But all families help shape who we become.

In a world that moves fast, family remains one of the few places where we can still find belonging, strength, and comfort.

Today is also a reminder to check in on one another, appreciate the moments we often take for granted, and value the people who continue to show up for us — especially during difficult times.

Wishing love, health, and unity to families everywhere. ❤️

🇵🇹 Cooking from Scratch — Session 3! 🍲

We’re now well underway with our third session of learning to cook from scratch on a budget — healthy, home‑style meals inspired by Portuguese traditions. Today it’s arroz de pato. (Duck rice)
Each class brings new guests, new friends, and fresh stories around the table.
It’s amazing to see how food continues to connect us — from the kitchen to the dining room, from curiosity to confidence.

Obrigado to everyone who’s joined so far — your energy and enthusiasm make every session special.
Here’s to more shared meals, laughter, and learning ahead!
