WAES Community Partner Forum 2025

The annual WAES Community Partner Forum was held on Thursday 3 July at the newly opened Exchange Hub in North Paddington.

The forum provided an opportunity for Westminster community partners to come together with volunteers and learners to reflect on their shared achievements and celebrate the positive impact of their work in the community.

The day began with warm welcomes from Alison Muggridge, Assistant Principal for Curriculum and Quality, and Arinola Edeh, WAES Principal. This was followed by introductions from Sabirah Ali, Head of Community and Cultural Learning, and Harriet Amos, Community Learning Manager.

To strengthen connections among attendees, the forum featured a collaborative reflection activity, encouraging dialogue and shared insights. A networking lunch provided further opportunity for meaningful engagement, and the day concluded with a guided tour of Little Venice, led by Urbanwise.

We extend our sincere thanks to all our Community Partners for their continued support, dedication, and collaboration.
