Story of colour and culture

  We come from a country of colour and culture, where the weather is hot, the food is spicy and the people with warm attitudes. Pakistan, where the life means vibrant colours four seaons and the five rivers (Punjab)are sign of life, peace and calm.

  In EC1 there is a mix of cultures,people from all backgrounds from Pakistan to Benglasesh and from Turkey to Somalia yet we are a just one community, the EC1 Community. The community that is unique in its nature and unusual, ten years ago it would have been difficult to even imagine what the community looks like today, multi faith, multi cultural, and diverse.

  The EC1 Community also has a high importance just being next door to the City of London the heart of Britain's economy, the stock exchange. We all live here no matter where we have come from or how we have come to be here. Important thing is that we all are here with our host community and facing the challenges of our lives shoulder to shoulder and united in happiness and grief.
