I am an international student studying a master degree at Coventry University. I will be finishing my master degree in September 2019, and as I will be leaving my student accommodation at that time I have a number of items that I want to donate like cooking items, a portable heater, 2 steam irons, an electric kettle, a lamp, and other items like pillows and blankets . I would like to inquire if you accept such donations and can you come and collect them from my accommodation as I don’t have a car.
We are not able to accept articles as donations but we have passed your message on the Coventry Refugee and Migrant Centre and Coventry Asylum and Refugee Action Group (CARAG) who will no doubt reply to you directly if they are able to take your goods. Please let us know if they do. Many thanks.

It’s obvious that most people of colour in are going to leave a comment about how RACIST was in the past and how it still is in many areas like education, jobs opportunities, housing I can go on but what’s the point all people do is talk and say what great strides have been made maybe to Anglo Saxon eyes I haven’t seen it, police brutality in the USA shouldn’t spark people that have been suffering racism for decades in England to say enough is enough when the protest stop it will be ignored and swept under the carpet as always
Good morning I work for BBC Antiques Roadshow – obviously in a different time we would have been filming the programme in Coventry but to ensure the safety of our crew and visitors we’ve had to move to Kenilworth Castle. However, we would still love to find items which show the cultural and historical diversity of Coventry and I wondered if you may be able to pul a call out on your website and through your contacts?
We are asking people to contact us ASAP at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4M87TXlfyxdKf6x2fqhNCLz/kenilworth-castle and let us know about there items or stories. Unfortunately this year only people who have contacted us beforehand will be invited to attend the show.
Do let me know if you would like a press release, flyer or photograph.
Look forward to hearing from you.

I have been a victim of a crime and I wondered how I go about arranging a meeting with the offender so that I can get an understanding of his reasons and get an apology. I would also like to suggest that the offenders Community Service is carried out in the immediate area that will benefit others affected by his crimes

Hello, my name is Penny, and I am a member of an organisation called Diggers & Dreamers. We are an organisation that supports and broadly advocates for intentional communities. We mainly do this through our website and as an independent publisher.
We are currently putting together a book which showcases different urban communities in the UK. The book brings together articles submitted by people from a diverse range of urban community typologies. It aims to show “what’s out there”. It compares and contrasts different living models, and gives a flavour of what it’s like to set such communities up and/or live in them. It also plays a role in archiving the state of urban communities today, and situating them within their historical context, if appropriate.
I am getting in touch to see if someone from the Conventry Peace House may be interested in contributing something to the book?
If this sounds of interest, please feel free to get in touch.
Good morning,
My name is Jamaal and I run a local karate club in Hillfields.
My sessions are targeted towards young people and families that are refugees, asylum seekers, and those from low socio-economic backgrounds. Due to this, I teach all of my white belts free of charge.
I have been delivering my sessions from Sidney Stringer Academy, however, they have unfortunately been extremely unreliable, and I am afraid the karate club may soon be seeing its last days.
For a number of dates over the next few months we have no training venue and I’m aware this unsustainability will have negative consequences on the clubs community engagement and participation rates.
I reached out to my old employer for help (Rashid Bhyat – Positive Youth Foundation) – and he suggested that I get in contact with yourselves hoping you could provide some venue support.
I’m happy to pay any hall hire fee at this point as the priority is solely establishing a safe space for these young people to continue on their journey with karate.
I myself am from a community of deprivation and have competed in karate at the highest level, I know the benefits that learning the discipline can bring, the level of self development etc.
Is there any possibility we could arrange some kind of meet where I could show you the benefits of my karate club to the local community of Hillfields – and if there is any possibility at all that you would be able to provide a space for us to continue our sessions for the period we have nowhere to train
FYI – I am currently in the process of trying to establish the club as a CIC as of right now I fund the club myself, but I am able to provide my own DBS – our club constitution document, our safe-guarding and EDI Policy.
I look forward to hearing back from you,
Kindest regards,
