Rejected petition Need for a community centre in Hounslow

Rejected on 1 November 2018

We are struggling with a lack of space, as our legal team is often forced to work from the kitchen table. The demand for our ESOL language classes has increased, making it harder to accommodate everyone. Please offer your support in making the Afghanistan and Central Asian Association Centre happen.

Afghanistan and Central Asian Association received the Queen's Golden Jubilee Award 2018 for outstanding volunteer service in communities, the highest recognition for voluntary groups, standing as a statement of the quality of our work. Through weekly advice, the charity has helped 50000 people in London and Afghanistan since 2001. By having a proper community centre, there will be more vulnerable people accessing our services.
