Active Paths Attendee
“We listened to some beautiful songs from Mr Sarwar and his crew so that was a very positive thing and plus we enjoyed the weather because I think in the future it’s going to very cold so lets make the best of it. We had people from different organisations and it’s really good to see that all of these organisations that belong to different cultures, different faith are coming together to celebrate humanity, to celebrate spirituality so I think its good to have these kind of events.”

“I attened this program, I must say it has been very educative, very informative becuase in our community at the moment people are in th eeconomic crisis so alot of our communty wouldn’t know wjere to get this information and solve the problems but programs like this points me to ways to help and services who can offer the support. I would highly recommend it.”

“I am coming here CWTC centre about 3 weeks ago to learn Basic IT. Honestly before reaching here I didn’t know about computer at all. But now I am very confident about alot of things such as Adobe InDesign, Powerpoint, File Management and especially I have learnt how to make a CV. Now I am very confident to tell everyone that the CWTC centre is great for learning Basic IT”

Cost of Living Crisis Information Session
“I like the session, it educates you on where to go if you have a problem, such as a warm hub and also to go to the Citizens Advice if you have an issue with your benefits and all the necessary things we have in Oldham that you cant access that we don’t even know about before.”

Scott Williams
NHS Greater Manchester Engagement Manager
“We have found that the venue is absolutely amazing for us to use as a focus group and meeting place thanks to Mohammed Sarwar and his amazing group of volunteers who assisted our delivery, supported people to complete our equality monitoring forms, and thank you particularly to the three members of Mohammed group who supported the translation of our presentation and enabled us to support an additional 18 people who were able to share their thoughts and feelings about ADHD. Things like that are so special when we are working with volunteering communities to have people who champion community voice is absolutely phenomenal. We’ll absolutely be back. We look forward to continuing a wonderful relationship with Mohammed and his team. On behalf of NHS Greater Manchester – thank you so much.”
