Windrush celebration 2026
Sunday, 27th September 2026
The IWAW Windrush day event was held on Sunday 27th September 2026! What a wonderful time celebrating Windrush legacy and looking forward to building a stronger sense of community and passing on the knowledge.
We had performances led by IWAW members.
Lezim performance by Lezim Pathak Cymru led by IWAW co-founder Sandhya who was playing djembe, a traditional West African hand drum.
Cultural co-project lead Chaitali's dance group made up of 3 generations performed an energetic dance medley
Cultural co-project lead Teju led garbha dance workshop which had the audience on their feet participating and enjoying learning.
We heard from the elders of the community about their journey which brought them to UK. Julie Morgan MS shared her thoughts on community cohesion.
Mrs Sudhaben Bhatt, Assistant secretary of Sanatan Dharma Mandal spoke of her journey to UK.
Hearing about experiences, enjoying performances and socialising were some of the highlights of the day.
