30th anniversary celebrations!

What an incredible 30th anniversary celebration! Our hearts are overflowing with gratitude for everyone who came together with us to share in this unforgettable evening. It was a night of pure joy. The event was a beautiful amalgamation of treasured memories, reflections on the past, explorations of the present, and dialogues about our collective future.

We wish to extend our deepest appreciation to our remarkable speakers, whose words resonated with both wisdom and passion. Each of you imparted invaluable insights that have left an indelible mark on all of us. It's a sentiment we often express and a philosophy we hold dear - we feel truly honored and privileged when a family opens their doors to us, allowing us to become a part of their lives and share in their stories. Such an act requires immense courage and trust, and we are profoundly grateful for this trust placed in us. 

Thank you to all of our performers; Heaven sent, who kicked our evening off with their amazing vocals and the fantastic UFO steelband  who provided a perfect soundtrack to a wonderful evening.

A special mention goes out to our lifeblood - our volunteers. On this night, we celebrated the dedication of two of our longest-standing volunteers, Chris and Manijeh. Also, wonderful Minnie who wrote a special poem for Family Friends. Their unwavering commitment and tireless efforts have been instrumental in fostering a sense of support, and warmth within our community. 

As you look through photographs, we hope they reflect the essence of what we all experienced on this remarkable night: a tapestry of celebration, harmonious melodies, the bonds of friendship, and the depth of meaningful conversations.

These images mirror the spirit of Family Friends - a vibrant and united community that rallies to support one another, honoring the strength it takes to open our hearts and share our stories. 

Thank you to all the kind local businesses who supported our evening; Their Nibs, Stella McCartney, So media, Avalon flowers, Wahaca Innocent
