On Friday 21^st October Philip Glanville the new Mayor of Hackney visited us at ELATT HQ as part of his tour around East London alongside Citizens UK. We were really excited to be introduced to Mayor Glanville and to showcase our Haggerston centre and get the chance to introduce him to some of our fantastic students. Our Equal Voices students prepared a special presentation for him which was really well received. Mayor Glanville was really engaged throughout and was very interested in finding out more about the project and our wider community project portfolio.

On Thursday 10th March 2016 students of the course ESOL E2 Speaking and Listening class and their tutor Debora Sinclair Murray visited the organisation SimpleGifts: Unitarian Centre for Social Action in Bethnal Green.

This organisation runs community programmes from Bethnal Green, East London premises. Her programmes - including After School Club, New Neighbours/Old Neighbours Lunch, and ESOL classes - are all run by a team of dedicated volunteers.

On that day the volunteers organised activities to make this day more special for all women of the E2 class. Some wanted to have make up, some only facial massage, some a manicure and some a Henna painting. Henna has been used for centuries to adorn young women's bodies as part of social and holiday celebrations:
