Do you need support with the Windrush Compensation Scheme or simply a place to connect with your community this festive season?
Shifting Your Mindset (SYM), one of our trusted local partners, is hosting a community event, Windrush Food and Conversations, designed to offer both vital support and festive connection to beneficiaries of the Windrush Compensation Scheme and the wider community. This free event provides a chance to share a Christmas meal, receive legal assistance, and foster a sense of belonging.

Free legal advice and support
The event offers direct support for those navigating the complexities of the Windrush Compensation Scheme.
At the heart of the afternoon, free lawyers will be on site to provide confidential legal advice, information, and support. This is a crucial opportunity to get expert guidance on your claim or any related legal queries in an accessible and welcoming environment. Shifting Your Mindset’s commitment to empowering those affected by the scandal is demonstrated in their work, which you can read more about in the our recent blog article on their Windrush Compensation Scheme support programme.

A place to share and belong
At a time that can feel isolating, the event is a welcoming space for everyone to come together and foster a sense of community.
Attendees will be treated to a free Christmas meal and good company, creating a festive atmosphere for people to share stories and build new relationships. The emphasis is on community—no booking is required, and there is absolutely no cost to attend. Everyone is welcome to come along and bring a friend.
