Cultural Awareness

Are you keen to learn more about Muslim life and culture: Islam, cooking, etiquette, family life? Here is your opportunity to ask the questions you always wanted to ask.

The Council for Voluntary Services, based in Clitheroe, has begun running cultural awareness sessions. They last about a couple of hours and are for small groups of up to about eight people.

These sessions are mainly discussions with lots of time for your questions. They are proving very popular.

If you live or work in the Ribble Valley and are interested in signing up to attend one of these sessions, please contact the CVS at 1 Swan Mews, Clitheroe , BB7 2BX , 01200 422995, ribblevalleycvs@ic24.net
