Rowing for Team Umarah at Charity Boat Race 2023 · 13 August 2023

Newham Community Project have been operational for over 10 years now, helping the community in various projects over the years. Currently since the pandemic began, over one year ago, we are helping thousands of international students and local residents in and around Newham. The international students have No Recourse to Public Funds and no help from anywhere else and rely solely on Newham Community Project. We run a foodbank which distributes to over 2,500 international students every week with quality essential provisions. We also offer academic support, practical support and delivery for those in isolation, including prescription pick-ups and other necessary deliveries. We help with University issues including fee extensions and payment plans. We help with cv's, personal statements, and interview techniques. We advertise job vacancies and other useful information through groups to help this vulnerable and struggling cohort back into work. We have social integration groups which include women empowerment, Infant Feeding Program, parents groups, and we look after the wellbeing of pregnant ladies and the overall wellbeing of our registered users. We also have a team of trained Mental Health Councilors to help overcome any concerns.

Story

I’m rowing with Team Umarah to raise funds for Newham Community Project’s women’s leadership courses. Please support and donate!

My niece, Syeda Umarah Ahmed, was a young change-maker who dreamed big and acted locally to make positive changes around her. She passed away last year at the age of 15.

In Umarah’s memory and spirit, I’m fundraising for a brilliant charity that’s local to me.

Race day is Sunday 13th August 2023 at the London Regatta Centre, E16 2QT. It’s a fun filled day with food, stalls, boat races and competitions. You’re welcome to come along to show your support.

*The Charity Boat Race is organised by a consortium of three charity registered organisations – Gift Foundation, Sisters Forum and Newham Youth Link.
