Yesterday, we reached out for assistance in locating 12-year-old Oscar. We are happy to report that the Met Police has confirmed the child has been found safe and well. That’s great news! Well done to everyone who played a part in reuniting him with his family. Special thanks to the Met Police for their efforts 💙.

This looks like it will be great fun. This coming Saturday 23rd March.

So to my all friends, colleagues and residents in Barking & Dagenham and beyond, who are observing and partaking in this religious festival.
