Barbados’ 43rd year of Independence
I was lucky enough to attend 2 fantastic events to celebrate the 43rd Year of the Independence of Barbados.
Reading has the largest community of Barbadians outside Barbados itself and we really need to celebrate Reading’s diversity.
It was fantastic to be invited first of all to the Carson Small Foundation Dinner and dance event at the Irish Club.
The Carson Small foundation raises money for local and Barbadian charities and is run by a committee including Reading community activist Peter Small.
I am pictured with the committee members of the Carson Small Foundation.
The second event was an excellent service at St Mary’s in the town centre. It is a pleasure to be a part of such a diverse community and I look forward to working with Peter Small and his colleagues in the future.
