A READING charity helping some of the town’s most vulnerable people is holding an art exhibition that celebrates “creativity, resilience, and the power of giving back”.
Sadaka provides free nutritious and warm meals, as well as essential support to those facing financial hardships.
The exhibition at the Fairview Community Centre, is in partnership with The Museum of English Rural Life, Reading Museum and Reading High Street Heritage Action Zone.
In 2021, Sadaka expanded its services to include Sadaka Wellbeing, a safe haven where everyone is welcome to relax, engage in various activities such as painting, jewellery making, mindful colouring, and networking. This initiative has provided a space for service users to momentarily escape their complex and challenging lives.
A spokesperson for Sadaka said: “We remain in search of donations to sustain and expand our services. Our achievements and successes would not have been possible without the tireless dedication of our volunteers and the generous support of the public.
“We are thrilled to host this art exhibition as a way of celebrating the incredible spirit of our community. It is an opportunity to showcase the talent and creativity that flourishes within our service users and to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who have made our work possible.
“We are so grateful to have support from Anna Jones from Reading Museum and Sadaka looks forward to building our relationships with these community groups in the future”.
The exhibition is from 9.30am to 11.30am on Saturday, September 30, at Fairview Community Centre, Great Knollys Street, Reading.
