Preston Mela has long been a key event in the south Asian community and the locals calendar here in Preston.
We really enjoyed talking to everyone and giving out information about our Safety First Project and our other support services, as well as being a great chance to ask members of the south Asian community what activities they want to see in our new hub!
Thanks as always to our amazing volunteers & Big Lottery and Preston City Council for funding!
Here’s some photos from the event!
