Nuneaton #TeamOrange volunteers support refugees with tasty food fest

Yaseen Sheikh, one of our dedicated #TeamOrange volunteers from Nuneaton, hosted a community food festival at the weekend in aid of our Refugee Emergency campaign.

The event was a huge success, raising £2,500 to support refugee families who are fleeing conflict.

Yaseen said: “On the day we had 25 amazing #TeamOrange volunteers and were overwhelmed by the support from the community. We enjoyed all sorts of tasty treats, from freshly barbecued meat and a selection of curries and spicy savouries, to traditional Kenyan dishes and a whole host of cakes and desserts!”

At the end of February Yaseen will be taking on Coventry’s Half Marathon alongside more than 70 #TeamOrange #TeamMesmerEyez runners.
