Community in Action Black History Month Health Awareness Event!

25th Oct 2025, we came together for an inspiring Black History Month Health Awareness Event at Lewsey Farm Learning Centre, in collaboration with The Burford Centre CIC a celebration of unity, learning, and proactive healthcare in our community.

A special thanks to Fatima Lahiani and Olivia Williams for their inspiring talks and to Austin Chinakidzwa, Specialist Heart Failure Practitioner (Cardiology), for his vital partnership and contribution to this important initiative.

Special thanks to Pastor Denny for his heartfelt opening remarks, setting the tone for an impactful day and to all those who shared live testimonies and personal advice, bringing encouragement, wisdom, and real-life experiences to our community conversation.

Deep appreciation to the amazing logistics team from Lewsey Farm Learning Centre for providing delicious food and entertainment, the logistics team from Luton Borough Council, and Monica Rose from Mon’s Creative Facepainting for adding joy and colour to the day.
