As we continue to remember the Holocaust yearly, we also remember other subsequent Genocides. We need remember over one million Tutsis who were murdered in one hundred day. The Rwandan Community in Bedford, Higgins Bedford and Queen’s Park community organisation have joined forces to organise the commemoration of the 30th anniversary of the Genocide Against the Tutsis in Rwanda. Bedford resident and Survivor, Chantal Uwamahoro, who might have heard recently on BBC radio 4, has dedicated her life to tell her story by giving lectures, talk and assemblies in schools and many public places. This event is the opportunity to come and meet survivors and the community and listen to their stories

The Commemoration of the 30 years Anniversary of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsis in Rwanda!

A chance to meet and greet member of the D/Hard of Hearing community and their charity Access Bedford!

OPEN Day- King’s Oak Primary

The feedback we have had from the deaf and hard of hearing community in Bedford is that not many businesses are able to communicate via BSL in Bedford town centreand we wanted to change that trend. Our aim is to enable as many people as possible to gain some knowledge of British Sign Language to help support the Deaf and hard of hearing community, and ensure they feel more welcome/comfortable using our town centre shops and services. To do this we will also be organising a deaf awareness day on the Sunday 12th May between 2 to 4pm at the Harpur suite in Bedford Town centre. More
information to follow.

Bedford’s BSL Festival

The course is open to everyone; you might be an employee of a business in town or a business owner, you could be working for a charity or a statutory body, working for Bedfordshire Police or you just want to learn BSL to help people to feel more included, as long as you interact with Bedford town, this is the course for you!

We ask that you only book if you can commit to all six weeks of classes, in order to get the most from this opportunity.  Spaces are limited and will be filled on first come first serve basis. Please find attached the flyers. Please note that you can park for free at the Allhallows car park, Brace St, Bedford MK40 1LX. It is only a short walking distance to both the venues.

Thank you @nhs_elft and especially the CAMHS team for visiting the Khush Haal group. Discussion about Mental Health in young people and adults sparked conversations about Mental Health perception in different cultures, the barriers that certain communities face with this topic and the gap between services and communities. The session was in English and Urdu. #WomenSupportingWomen #CommunityEngagement #weareqpco #mentalhealthawareness
