ENFIELD BANGLADESH WELFARE ASSOCIATION
We work to relieve economic deprivation and social isolation of the Bangladeshi and other ethnic minority community, particularly the elderly, the unemployed and the younger generation through educational & skills development projects. We organise weekly drop-in sessions for the elderly including keep-fit classes, welfare & healthy living advice. We promote cultural heritage & community cohesion.
