Weekly Gathering:
Our charity members meet every other Sunday for a social gathering.
A program which starts with a small prayer, different activities and games is done every week, which helps the members get to know each other and keeps them entertained. We always try to enhance our program as we see fit for each week. Also, we always try to relate to our Coptic Christian background by educating the members about our faith and sharing current news of the Coptic Christians in the Middle East. Our meetings include a home-cooked meal, which we all sit and enjoy together.
Activities:
We have a range of activities that both volunteers and nonvolunteers can participate in. The list includes cookery classes, the choir for adults, the choir for children, table tennis, DIY and crafts, crochet, festival/eventrelated activities for Mother’s Day, Christmas, Easter, etc… also preparing and organising major events and making decorations is a big portion of event-related

We may also do a bake sale where we encourage people to bring homemade baked goods to sell. We are also thinking of including some sports equipment so that kids can have fun in matches of football or basketball
Young volunteer leadership: Young volunteers will often be involved in helping to prepare, participating in or leading some of the activities above to develop their teamwork and leadership skills. Examples of these are leading DIY for children, decorating the environment in case of an event, singing in the choir, learning to crochet and referee sports matches.
Newcomers:
We intend to help adults and children get used to British society and ease the culture shock they might experience. In our meetings, we aim to welcome newcomers to the UK and make sure they feel included in our society. Kids are a big part of our community which is why we organize social and educational activities, teaching support groups especially for them. We also help support newcomers with the right way to develop the skills needed

We organised a Christmas fair, and about 220 members and non-members from the public came to the event. The event included organised games, snacks and other entertainment. Our members donated the materials for the snacks and the games. We have increased the number of young volunteers for greater youth engagement and leadership. |
