Join us for a Syrian lunch

When: Wednesday 19 June, 12 noon
Where: Riverhouse Barn, Manor Road, Walton-on-Thames, KT12 2PF

Following the success of the #LoveMolesey Spring Fair where local residents were treated to the delights of home-made Syrian and Turkish food from some of our families, we're organising a special lunch to celebrate Refugee Week in June. Catered by one of our Syrian families it promises to be a wonderful celebration of diversity and welcome within our community.

Tickets £15 per head (children under 5 are free). Booking essential. Please email contact@elmbridgecan.org.uk for menu information and tickets.

Humanity Rising film screening

When: Thursday 27 June, 8pm
Where: Riverhouse Barn, Manor Road, Walton-on-Thames, KT12 2PF

Riverhouse Barn in Walton-on-Thames will be screening Humanity Rising in June. The 60-minute documentary film focuses on the humanitarian stories behind the current refugee crisis – stories that are often lacking in related news coverage, detached statistics and procedural politics.

The film, by Humanity's Heart, is a journey to the heart of what makes us human, touchingly explored through the personal stories of different people who are deeply caught up in the crisis.

There will be a short Q&A after the film with producer, Tazeen Dhunna Ahmad, and Elmbridge CAN Co-Founder, Jeannie Tweedie, and two of the people we support.

Tickets £4 available online from the Little Box Office

Please join us for what promises to be an interesting and informative evening.
