The Lonely Orphans team held a fete to raise awareness of the charity’s aims, objectives and campaigns.

The community event attracted locals as well as visitors from neighbouring boroughs.

There were toy and bric a brac stalls, food, drinks, an ice cream van and a bouncy castle for youngsters.

Lonely Orphans empowers orphan children and their families with the tools needed to make positive changes to their lives.

The UK based charity has been working with the Rohingya people since 2013 who are dubbed the most persecuted ethnic group on Earth, and have helped thousands of vulnerable women and children with emergency food, shelter, medicine, education among many other amenities.

In 2020 Abdal Ahmed and Emdad Rahman will travel to Turkey as a deployment team to deliver an education/sports programme and aid to the Uyghur people.

Both community volunteers are seeking sponsors and donors for various fundraising events they are planning as part of their trip.

Lonely Orphans Fundraising Manager Md Imran said, “We experienced a pleasant day today with lots of diverse visitors and I feel we have done a lot to raise the profile of the excellent work we do. Thank you to our donors, supporters and well wishers for a great day.”
