| Hollywood Party at Mitkadem Centre | |||
| Hollywood came to Redbridge when members of Jewish Care’s Mitkadem Centre for people with mental health needs put on a party at which they dressed up as film stars. Most impressive was the fact that centre members had organised the party by themselves, including lunch, tea and a karaoke session. “The community would be amazed by what we can do, it has been achieved by teamwork,” said one of the members, who made a speech while cutting the cake. | |||
