As Chair of Kensington Remembers, I am really pleased with the programme we have put together for our local contribution to Holocaust Memorial Day later in the month. We have six events planned over the course of a week and I will be blogging all the details once the publicity material is all finalised.
But dates for your diary include
Thursday 21st January - evening, St Francis of Assisi Academy - youth event where young people explore their reaction and response to holocaust, genocide, racism, homophobia, bullying in school.
Saturday 23rd January - afternoon, St Francis of Assisi Academy - family/adult event bringing together the diverse communities of Kensington and Fairfield to discuss and showcase their commemoration of genocide, ethnic cleansing and holocaust, pertaining to their home nations.

Thought we were going to be in Manchester but that has been cancelled and would like to attend the events this afternoon.
Do we just turn up?

Dear David, I am sorry I did not spot this before now, I have been up at the school most of the day, setting up and then compering the event. It went really well I thought. I hope you made it, Best wishes, Louise
