The Green Community in Baltic, the lovely Rbab prepared the most beautiful sweets, and Hanaa Umm Areej added her touch with an attractive decoration, along with the lovely team of Moroccan sisters. I don't know how to thank them; they were the only team that added beauty to the occasion. I love that.

We’re excited to share photos from our cultural day trips to Durham Cathedral, Beamish Museum, and Roman Fort Museum

These visits have given refugee and migrant women and their children the chance to explore the UK’s rich history and culture, while building confidence, connection, and a sense of belonging.
We’re incredibly grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting us to deliver these experiences and bring people together in meaningful ways.

Thank you for making this possible 💛

We visited the Bimash Museum and it was a wonderful trip. The children moved between the rooms and ancient artifacts and we enjoyed the sunny weather on 14/4/2026

We also conduct recreational and educational trips for women every month, and we have a weekly activity every Friday and Monday, teaching swimming in Newcastle, and we have a children's education program for Sunderland every Tuesday, as well as women's skills development programs every Thursday in Gateshead. We always try to be a real support.

We took a trip for mothers and children to Segedunum on March 23, 2026. At the Roman Museum in Wallsend, it was a wonderful day; the children were delighted, and we went to lunch at a local restaurant.

As the Sudanese civil war rages on, civilians are terrorised and the environment is wrecked, with foreign powers secretly aiding the genocide

Thanks to the National Lottery, our Sudanese Muslim women’s group was able to visit Durham Cathedral this week. The group members were deeply impressed by the rich Christian heritage of the UK and thoroughly enjoyed learning about its history and legacy.

The children especially enjoyed the experience and were captivated by the cathedral’s architecture and atmosphere.

This visit is one of many educational and cultural outings we have planned for this year.

Thank you to the National Lottery Community Trust for making this possible and for supporting opportunities that bring communities together. Diwan
