Film Screenings

RDF PUBLIC EVENTS

In addition to our educational classes, RDF often organises various types of public events. Some of these events have helped raise funds for our charity. Many are organised just to raise awarenees of our classes, services or relevant educational information, or to promote community cohesion and healthy community values.

For example, we sometimes put on film screening events in partnership with other organisations. In the past such partnerships have included: The Lexi Cinema, Queen's Park Community Council (QPCC) and All Stars Boxing Club.
