Multi-faith day in Bolton proves a huge success

by Ethos public relations

Independent Living staff from social landlord Contour Homes recently took part in an event held at the Asian Elders Resource Centre in Bolton which brings together different faiths to celebrate the festivals of Eid, Diwali and Christmas.

The Asian Elders group, established in 1989, is a highly recognised charity in the North West, and provides valuable services such as activities, trips and simply somewhere to meet for older people in the Asian community of Bolton.

Staff from Contour Homes set up their own stall at the ‘Unity in the Community’ event which is held annually at the 3D centre in Bolton, and gave guests the chance to get creative in a Christmas cracker workshop, as well as learn about the services that Contour Homes offer.

Dawn Thornber from Contour Homes said: “This was a great opportunity for us to get involved with the local community and it’s good to see so many different faiths and cultures come together to celebrate the most important religious events of the year.”

“We really enjoyed the event and we were able to get our creative juices flowing on our craft stall- everyone really enjoyed creating their own Christmas crackers!”

Representatives from Greater Manchester Police attended the event, and priests representing each of the three faiths said blessings for all present. Local schools and choirs also performed, whilst henna painting, card design competitions and a raffle were also on offer.
