A few days before Christmas we delivered festive hampers to 50 families in our local community. We focused on families and residents whom previously received our Covid-19 essential food parcels during the first lockdown and a few volunteers.

​The Christmas hampers were kindly donated by Sapna Dhall and Mimi's Coffee and Dessert Lounge in Hounslow. We also prepared our own hampers supported by chef and author Manju Malhi.

After nearly six months of lockdown, we finally got together to run our Big Local Socially Distanced Community Clean Up Day on Saturday 26th September 2020.
​In partnership with Hounslow Highways and Keep Britain Tidy campaign, we collected over 25 bags of rubbish.

​In total, we had 20 volunteers (including our local MP Seema Malhotra), 4 groups of 5, staggered throughout the morning and afternoon. The Clean Up was an opportunity to trial our new Covid-19 secure measures to ensure the health and wellbeing and safety of our volunteers and the public. 

​After our successful trial on Saturday, we will look to run further Clean Up days and other outdoor community events in the near future. For more information about our upcoming Big Local events, please click here. We would like to thank our brilliant and amazing volunteers for their incredible dedication and support and our partners Hounslow Highways, Keep Britain Tidy and Cranford Community College.

Megha's Big Local journey

Megha (centre, back row) alongside our Big Local youth volunteers receiving their legacy awards in Dec 2019.
Hello! I’m Megha Dahdrai. I am currently studying English Literature at Royal Holloway; University of London and I have been a volunteer with Heston West Big Local since 2016. Over the years, I have taken part in planning and executing creative projects for various age groups. Being a dedicated member of the group led to me receiving a job offer as an art facilitator with Creative Spaces LDN.

Recently I was given the opportunity to run a project online with my best friend, Juhi Kumra. We help run the summer school together every year and make a rather brilliant team. We decided to work together to create a stimulating twelve-week program, Juhi’s being drama-based and mine being art-based. Personally, during the lockdown, it has been impossible for me to find inspiration to create art – my hopes for this project are that it acts as a form of inspiration and a source of information for my participants.
The project I am working on focuses on the history and impact that LGBTQ+ artists, black artists and artists of colour have had on their corresponding art movements, as well as studying the concept of producing art during a revolution. I feel that these topics are relevant to the today’s society. I would like to develop my skills and knowledge as both an artist and a facilitator.
To anybody considering volunteering – I think that it is both hugely rewarding and gratifying, I would urge you to give it a try. I have had wonderful experiences, met amazing new people and it has shaped me as a person.

For more information about the project please click here.
