WFWP UK Central London - Meet&Greet

On Saturday, 1st November 2025, WFWP Central London hosted a Meet & Greet gathering at 43

Lancaster Gate from 3:00 PM to 6:00 PM. The event took place in the café area, where participants

sat together around a large table, creating a warm, intimate, and family-like atmosphere.

The purpose of the event was to welcome new guests, strengthen connections among current members, and share more about the vision and mission of the Women’s Federation for World Peace

(WFWP). It also provided an opportunity to discuss volunteering and community involvement in a

relaxed and friendly setting.

Laureta, Helena, and Anne warmly greeted guests as they arrived, ensuring everyone felt

comfortable and included. Around fifteen participants attended, including five new guests who had

met the team at the Volunteers Fair.

Once everyone was seated, Helena, serving as MC, opened the main program. Each participant briefly

introduced themselves and shared about their background and connection to volunteering. Afterwards,

an introduction video about WFWP was played, giving everyone an overview of the organisation’s

global peacebuilding work and the values it promotes — reconciliation, compassion, service, and

women’s leadership.

Following the video, Mitty Tohma shared inspiring words about WFWP’s vision and her own

experience of working with women from different cultures to promote peace and understanding. Her

message encouraged everyone to see the potential of women’s roles in creating a more caring and

united world.

Maria then spoke about her experience participating in the Women’s Speech Contest and how

WFWP helped her develop confidence and communication skills. Her story touched many of the

guests and highlighted the Federation’s supportive and empowering community.

The meeting continued with open sharing and conversation, where participants reflected on what

inspired them to volunteer and how they could contribute to future activities. The friendly café setting,

along with tea, coffee, and snacks, made the whole afternoon feel relaxed and engaging.

The event concluded with informal chats over tea and coffee, allowing guests to build new

connections and discuss ideas for future collaboration.
