We worked with a section of the Romanian community from January 2022 to March 2023. The group met once a week and delivered different activities, such as arts and crafts, food classes, and a photography workshop. They also helped to organise the first Romanian National Day in Bedford.
We are delighted to join forces with the amazing charity called Foodetc delivering a six-week course. The programme is about cooking food that you might typically order from a takeaway, but instead, you will learn to prepare it at home. Parents and children learn to cook together!
Through the “Community Portrait” project, this initiative will provide the opportunity for local communities and residents to understand the heritage of photography and its links with Fujifilm, who have been present in Bedford and a key employer for the last 40 years. Chiara Mac Call is the professional delivering the workshop on behalf of Bedford Creative Arts.
New toys have arrived at the Faraday Centre, thank you to Emma and her mum! We are about to start a ‘portrait community project’ on Saturday, 1st July. If you live in the Kingsbrook and Caudwell areas, get in touch if you’re interested! Another big thank you to the Co-operative for the aprons as they will be very useful when we start the cookery course in September 2023!
