British South Asian Bridgers London Workshop

Earlier this month members of the South Asian Bridgers Network came together for the network’s first in-person meeting.

The day was full of discussion and honest conversation about the ever changing issues that impact the South Asian community in the UK. Held in Millbank tower with an impressive view overlooking Parliament, the talk reflected personal experiences as well as discussions on how to impact policy in spaces which may need as well as turning attention to voices that need to be heard. 

Dr Avaes Mohammed, shared early data findings from the British South Asian Attitudes Survey which prompted discussion among members about emerging trends in British South Asian attitudes and the questions that the research could help the network explore further. 

Members also heard a summary of what the network has achieved so far, including the important discussions facilitated through its online meetings. The session provided an opportunity to reflect on this progress, outline the network’s next steps and consider its longer-term aims.

The meeting helped to build further momentum behind the South Asian Bridgers Network and strengthen connections between its members. We would like to thank all the Bridgers who attended and contributed so thoughtfully to the discussions, and we look forward to this being the first of many future in-person meetings.
