🖤 To celebrate Black History Month, we're featuring women who inspire our Stronger Together leaders 🖤

Today we remember Sybil Phoenix, a remarkable woman of the Windrush Generation who came to Britain from Guyana in 1956.

Despite facing racism and discrimination, Sybil dedicated her life to serving her community. She founded a youth club, fostered over 100 children, and created the Marsha Phoenix Memorial Trust to support vulnerable young women following the tragic loss of her foster daughter, Marsha.

In 1973, she became the first Black British woman to receive an MBE for her community work.

Thank you, Sybil, for reminding us how we can stay courageous and resilient despite life challenges. Your legacy shows us that when we stand together and lift each other up, we can truly be a force to be reckoned with. Together, we are stronger! 💪🏾🖤✨

We've teamed up with Citizens of the World Choir to run a special project led by Fran - Sing Well, Stay Connected! 🌍🎶
It was truly inspiring and uplifting to come together through the power of music.
Even the skies seemed to be part of the experience! We began under cloudy, rainy skies, but as we started singing, the clouds lifted and the sky lit up in all its glory. ✨☀️
A beautiful reminder of how music can bring people together, lift our spirits, and even brighten the day. ❤️🎶
A heartfelt thank you to Greenwich Healthier Communities Fund for supporting this project, and to everyone who joined us and helped make this moment so special. ❤️🙏
Stay tuned for more musical moments from COTW Choir with Fran! 🎵🌍✨

What a magical day! ✨

As we continue celebrating 🌱 10 Years of Rooted and Rising 🌱 we gathered for an internal party for our members. Everyone reflected on their journey with Creating Ground and a common thread emerged: "this place is my family"🫂

We then played games, danced and showed off our beautiful traditional attires... London Fashion Week simply does not compare! 💃🏾.

To every Creating Ground member and facilitator, whether you joined at the start or somewhere along the way: thank you ❤️. You’re the heart of our organisation, and it means the world that you’re part of this community.

Special thanks to the event planning team who worked hard behind the scenes to organise this celebration. And to everyone who brought yummy home-made food and helped on the day 🫶.

Here’s to growing deeper, rising higher, and another 10 years together. 🥳

Grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund for funding this special event 🙏

We’re back and ready for action! ✨
The energy is back, the fun is back, and we’re looking forward to what’s ahead! ❤️ We’re excited for new challenges, new routines, and all the amazing moments ahead. Ready to learn, grow, have fun, and put on a great display! 💪🔥
Let’s do this! 💫
Thank you to The National Lottery Community Fund for making these wonderful session with Luca Silvestrini's Protein possible.

*Remembering the roots of Notting Hill Carnival 🌍🎭*
Did you know that the story of Notting Hill Carnival is deeply connected to Claudia Jones, the Trinidad-born activist, journalist and community leader?
In post-war Britain, Caribbean communities faced widespread racism, discrimination and racial violence, particularly in Notting Hill. Ms Jones who used Caribbean culture and celebration to bring communities together helping to ease racial tensions by encouraging mutual understanding and collective joy.
From those humble beginnings at St Pancras Town Hall, Notting Hill Carnival grew into one of Europe’s largest street festivals, celebrating Caribbean heritage, creativity, diversity and community.
As we keep on reflecting on our 10th anniversary theme of 'Rooting & Rising', Claudia Jones reminds us that when we honour our roots, celebrate our differences and embrace inclusion, we can create positive change that inspires and uplifts future generations. ❤️

On Monday, we had an amazing time at our Summer Wellbeing Session facilitated by our Be Well champions! 💛

It was a lovely opportunity to relax, connect, and get creative by making beautiful paper cards. The older children were able to join in the activities with their mothers, whilst the younger ones enjoyed their own fun activities. 🌸🎨

One participant had a particularly touching reflection: “I created the card for my children to tell them that I love them.” As her children are older, she hasn’t told them she loved them lately. The simple act of creating a card gave her a beautiful opportunity to express those feelings ❤️

A big thank you to South London Listens who funded the session and to Brookhill Children's Centre for hosting us.

We're proud of our leaders who planned and facilitated the session 👏👏 More Wellbeing activities coming this autumn.

A huge thank you to everyone who contributed, and a special thank you to The National Lottery Heritage Fund for making it possible.

🌟 We had a wonderful time with Women's Interfaith Women's Interfaith Network at Living Space, celebrating Courage through our journey of being Rooted and Rising 🌱

📽️ We were proud to showcase our short film, Our World Heritage, created through our Heritage Project thanks to The National Lottery Heritage Fund, and to share our stories, cultures, and lived experiences. The positive feedback we received was truly heartwarming and a testament to the power of storytelling.

The day was filled with fun activities that brought connection, laughter, and new friendships, as we came together to celebrate our shared humanity. 💛
Thank you to everyone who made this inspiring event so special. 🌍✨

Our United for Dignity Team had a visit from a special guest! 🧡

We were delighted to welcome Cllr Lolavar, who wanted to learn more about our No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) campaign.

Through a dance routine, our leaders expressed what it feels like to experience NRPF: being stuck in a limbo whilst their skills and talent go to waste.

It was powerful to see how dance can spark meaningful conversation and raise awareness. We are grateful to Cllr Lolavar for her support and look forward to working together in the coming months. 🙏🙏

👀 Watch this space for more information soon!
💐 Thank you to Global Dialogue for funding and to Luca Silvestrini's Protein 🧡 for facilitating the creative process.
