What are some of your wins since LNY 2022?
We had yet another successful ESEA Heritage Month last September #ESEAHM2022, with over 80 events taking place across the country.
What are you currently working on?
This year we’re calling on you to tackle a problem that affects 3.1 million adults in the U.K. We have chosen to collaborate with @thehygienebank to raise awareness and combat the hygiene poverty. Lunar New Year is traditionally a time to spring clean and start the year afresh. It’s also possible to help others do the same by passing on any unused/new and in-date cleaning and personal grooming products. To donate, follow this link to find the locations of Boots branches nationwide that are accepting products. They are collected and sorted by specialist hubs, then eventually redistributed to those most in need.
Alongside a team of education expert, we have also created school resource packs designed for students from EYFS all the way through to KS5. These resources will help you teach culturally sensitive, engaging and thought-provoking lessons about Lunar New Year. You can access these resources here.
We are currently working with Protection Approaches to deliver Active Bystander Trainings across England and Wales, both online and in person.
How can we help/support you right now?
Support us by joining our LNY campaigns above, sharing our resources and participate in our trainings. Any donations are also appreciated for us to continue creating these resources for ESEA communities and beyond
