Join us to celebrate the launch of Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group's (GDWG) first ever recipe book!
Tales From Our Table is a recipe book created to celebrate the work of Gatwick Detainees Welfare Group and the community at its heart. For the last 30-years, GDWG has provided emotional and practical support to people held in immigration detention as well as those who have been released. We support people by sending phone credit and providing visitors, delivering warm clothes, offering supermarket vouchers to those who have been released and our caseworkers help to connect people with legal aid services.
We therefore thought that creating a recipe book would be a great way of bringing people together to celebrate our work and those so closely involved. In the book you will find recipes from people with lived experience of detention, staff, volunteers and trustees. Thank you to all those who kindly donated a recipe!
This event will be a standing reception during which we will serve eight vegetarian sweet and savoury dishes from the book - we hope you enjoy them as much as we do! You are welcome to bring a beverage of your choice, however there will be a small corkage fee of £1.
During the evening there will be a short reading from one of the five Refugee Tales Volumes which we have published through Comma Press (click here to find out more). These tales have been woven throughout the recipe book to highlight the people behind the food we eat and share.
The recipe book will be available to buy on the night or you can pre-order one when you check out.
We hope to see you there and bon appetite!
