✨ A Heartfelt Thank You ✨

As we reflect on our Together We Spread the Light journey, we want to say a huge thank you to our incredible headline funder, The National Lottery Awards for All. 💛

Because of your support, we have been able to deliver creative workshops, community celebrations, school visits, book donations, lantern-making sessions, performances, and events that have brought thousands of people together.

From schools and community groups to hospitals, town centre celebrations, and Eid on the Square in London, every smile, every lantern, every conversation, and every shared moment has been possible because of this funding.

Together, we have celebrated creativity, kindness, inclusion, and the incredible people who make our communities so special.

Thank you for believing in our vision and helping us continue to spread light, hope, and opportunity across Luton and beyond.

The journey doesn't stop here... Together, we'll keep spreading the light. ✨

✨ Together We Spread the Light at Eid on the Square ✨

What an incredible day celebrating community, creativity, and culture at Eid on the Square in Trafalgar Square, London. 🌙🏮

It was a privilege for Alif New Beginnings to deliver creative workshops where children and families designed beautiful lanterns, colourful headdresses, ceramic tiles, and artwork, celebrating the spirit of Eid through creativity and togetherness.

The atmosphere throughout the day was truly inspiring, bringing people from all backgrounds together to celebrate one of London's most loved community events. It was wonderful to see so many smiling faces enjoying the activities, performances, and celebrations.

A heartfelt thank you to everyone who visited our workshop, our fantastic volunteers, and everyone who helped make the day so memorable.

Special thank you to our funder The National Lottery without them we would not be able to do the incredible we share with the communities.

"A single lantern can light the way... but together, we illuminate a community.Your support has made it possible for us to deliver these workshops and continue spreading light, creativity, and community wherever we go. 💛
