🧵 Loved and Wanted Here – Quilt of Welcome🧵 As part of Loved and Wanted, The Quilt of Welcome will be touring libraries in London, coming to Redbridge from Monday 22 June to Saturday 25 July. The Quilt of Welcome has been created by hundreds of children in Sheffield, across 18 schools and three hospital settings. Writing words in their home, heritage, or community language, they share what makes them feel happy, welcome, and safe. Loved and Wanted is a campaign from the Mayor of London, funded through The National Lottery Community Fund, that reaffirms to Londoners that everyone is loved and wanted in our city.  It is part of the mayor’s work to strengthen connections between London’s communities and celebrate diversity. At Redbridge Libraries, we are hosting ‘Loved and Wanted Here’ Quilt of Welcome, to let our diverse local community know they are valued, welcomed, and supported here. 📍 Tour Dates 📚 Wanstead Library: 25 June – 9 July 📚 Redbridge Central Library: 10–19 July 📚 Fullwell Cross Library: 20–25 July ✨ Learn more: visionrcl.org.uk/events/lovedan… We’re proud to be part of a new network of community spaces, supported by @MayorofLondon and the National Lottery Community Fund #LovedandWantedHere #LovedandWanted
