In the spirit of unity and appreciation for the beautiful diversity that makes our community so unique, we are thrilled to announce the forthcoming “Colours of Community: Picnic in the Park” – an event designed to celebrate the cultural richness of our ethnic minority groups.
Colours of Community is not just a picnic; it’s a celebration of the multiculturalism within our community. It aims to celebrate and unite members of ethnic minority groups within our community to foster a community where everyone feels a sense of belonging. Bringing together members of ethnic minority groups is not just an act of inclusivity but a strategic investment in the community’s strength, resilience, and harmony. It aligns with the equality, justice, and shared values that make a community vibrant and cohesive. Recognizing and celebrating our differences strengthens the bonds that tie us together, creating a more inclusive and harmonious community.
Under the open skies of Severals Sports Pavillion, Newmarket, families from every corner of our community are invited to enjoy the beauty of our differences, finding common ground despite our differences. This will be an opportunity for people to share their experiences and cultures, and to build bridges of understanding and friendship. It is a chance to come together and show our appreciation for the diversity of our community.

According to the Office for National Statistics ; In the year ending June 2023, the top five non-EU nationalities for immigration flows into the
UK were: Indian (253,000), Nigerian (141,000), Chinese (89,000), Pakistani (55,000) and Ukrainian (35,000).
A large number of ethnic minority groups have moved into the country, particularly in the Newmarket, Suffolk area. Moving to a new country can leave you feeling lonely and unfamiliar. Ultimately, this could have negative effects on a person’s physical and mental health. This would eventually lead to social isolation. It is important to have a network of people to turn to for support and understanding. Connecting with people from the local community can help to overcome these feelings of loneliness and unfamiliarity.
This survey aims to gather information about new resident’s experiences since arriving in the UK, focusing on mental, social, and physical well-being, as well as identifying the resources you may require. Your feedback will help us better understand your needs and provide more tailored support. Your answers will remain anonymous and confidential. Thank you for your participation.
