ORGANISERS of the Worcester Mela are celebrating after it won the RTS Midlands Creative Community award for its documentary, ‘Worcester Voices’.
The South Asian, voluntary-led organisation has been uniting the city through culture, colour and creativity and spreading their message of ‘love not hate’ over the last 18 months.
The documentary shares the stories of migrant settlers in Worcester and how they have shaped and contributed to the economy.
Chair Jabba Riaz said: “Everyone who has seen the film has been touched by the powerful message it portrays. I would like to thank all of those involved, not least the Mela team and our partners, who have helped in making this a success.
“This award, of course, could not have been realised without the input of the community and all those who shared their photographs, memories, and stories.”
