Newham Council is supporting The Table of Love and Loss – an event on 3 December at East Ham Town Hall.
The Table of Love and Loss will bring together the families and friends of more than 30 loved ones, whose lives were taken by tragic circumstances.
The event has been organised by Ayse Hussein, in loving memory of her cousin Jan Mustafa, who was murdered in Newham. It is a chance for the public and families to meet, comfort one another, share experiences, and raise awareness about important issues.
On the day, there will be lots of organisations dedicated to providing support in a range of areas, including domestic abuse, mental health, suicide prevention, honour-based abuse, stalking, homicide, road rage, knife crime, substance misuse. There will also be assistance for missing persons, support for bereaved families, modern slavery and forced marriage.
