When Morocco plays, we come together 🇲🇦
June brought some of our biggest community moments yet.
Women-Only Chaabi Classes
Our monthly Chaabi sessions continued to grow, providing a culturally relevant space for women to move, connect and look after their wellbeing.
Morocco World Cup Watch Parties
We hosted two FREE World Cup watch parties in collaboration with Stonegate, creating a space for the Moroccan community to come together, support the national team and celebrate our shared pride in Morocco.
Whether you came with friends or arrived on your own, the watch parties were a chance to meet people, make new friendships, share the nerves and celebrate every moment together.
Community Football Sessions
Our regular community football sessions continued, giving members a welcoming space to stay active, connect and build friendships through sport.

May was a busy one, filled with sports, art and supporting our wonderful and talented community members.
Community 5K Run with Mo Kachach
We headed to Hyde Park for an energising 5K led by marathon runner and community advocate Mo Kachach.

Women-Only Chaabi Dance Class

The response showed just how much our community values accessible, culturally relevant spaces where women can prioritise their wellbeing, connect with others and have fun.
Moving together, growing together
April saw our health and wellbeing programme really begin to grow.
Community Football at Powerleague Shoreditch
We also took to the pitch for a 5-a-side community football session, bringing people together through sport, teamwork and a little friendly competition.
And because community is about more than the activity itself, we shared traditional Moroccan sweets from a Moroccan small business with participants afterwards — bringing a little taste of Morocco to the evening.
March 2026
Eid Celebration at BAR’Z ART
We hosted an Eid celebration at the Moroccan-owned BAR’Z ART in Camden, welcoming members of the Moroccan community alongside Arab, Muslim and wider London communities.
The afternoon was about more than celebrating Eid. It was a chance to share our traditions, discover Moroccan culture, meet new people and support a new Moroccan-owned independent business.
From food and atmosphere to conversations and connections, it was a celebration of culture, community and the incredible diversity of London.
Celebrating Eid, together
March was all about celebrating Moroccan culture and bringing people together.

Ramadan Iftar & Community Networking
We gathered at Soor Restaurant for an Iftar that brought together Moroccans, non-Moroccans and people from a wide range of cultural and professional backgrounds.

Starting the year right…
We kicked off 2026 by getting active, getting together and creating space for the community to connect.
