How to safely forage wild foods
Wild foods are nutritionally dense and can therefore be much healthier than many store bought foods (it’s also free!), however many plants are poisonous.
We also need to remember many creatures rely on this food, so we need to harvest respectfully.
We will therefore look at how to safely and respectfully collect wild foods.
We will look at what part of the plant to harvest at different times of its lifecycle; how to prepare it and if there's interest how to preserve it. Depending on what is available, we may find other useful plants such as for making soap, medicine, crafting, etc.

Inclusive Recruitment
Employers were invited to join Hannah Brooke and Marwah Aziz from Renaisi to hear how employers and recruiters can think beyond ‘tick box inclusivity’ to attract and retain refugee professionals.
Refugees do not fit neatly into any one of the 9 protected characteristics which means that even when employers implement equality, diversity and inclusion initiatives, they are disadvantaged in the hiring process.
From advertising to onboarding, employers will learn how to make their processes inclusive for refugee talent.

Investing in Our Future: Models of Community Ownership
As part of the learning journey to develop an investment policy for our exciting new Community Endowment Fund over the next nine months, BD Giving wants to provide local people with the knowledge and confidence they need to find an exciting model of investment which works for Barking & Dagenham.
Some of the questions that have come up so far asked about if and how the Endowment could be invested locally. Luckily, Stir to Action have already done incredible work around this so we've asked them to share that knowledge and experience with our community.
In this workshop, participants were introduced to the core concepts of a range of models of community owned investment and asked to think about what this might look like in our borough.

Becoming a Trauma-Informed Organisation and Community
There is no doubt that the lives of adults and young people across the UK have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Many people have had to adjust to dramatic changes in their home life, work, business, education or employment. Some have experienced bereavement or other traumatic experiences during the lockdown period while groups who were already marginalised are now likely to become more so.
As such, we are providing this free presentation to empower and support organisations to provide a trauma-sensitive environment for their staff and be better able to cope with the after effects of this pandemic for those who would have found the pandemic traumatic.
Attendees will gain a better understanding of what it means to be trauma-informed. Organisations, businesses and residents can attend..

Becoming a Trauma-Informed Organisation and Community
There is no doubt that the lives of adults and young people across the UK have been affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Many people have had to adjust to dramatic changes in their home life, work, business, education or employment. Some have experienced bereavement or other traumatic experiences during the lockdown period while groups who were already marginalised are now likely to become more so.
As such, we are providing this free presentation to empower and support organisations to provide a trauma-sensitive environment for their staff and be better able to cope with the after effects of this pandemic for those who would have found the pandemic traumatic.
Attendees will gain a better understanding of what it means to be trauma-informed. Organisations, businesses and residents can attend..
