The day was organised by Jassmin Alltoft, of the Nottingham Together organisation, Rukhsana Aziz, from the United Communities Network, and Father Andrew Fisher, vicar at the church. They said: “It was wonderful to see so many folk meeting up, eating, talking, laughing, playing and praying together.”
